Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 slices American or cheddar cheese
- 1 large yellow onion, cut into 1/4-inch thick rings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Optional Toppings
- Pickles
- Mustard
- Ketchup
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: Form the ground beef into two equal-sized patties that are slightly larger than the onion rings. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
- Grill the Onion Rings: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the onion rings with olive oil and place them on the hot skillet. Cook the rings for 2–3 minutes on each side until they are slightly softened and have a nice char.
- Cook the Patties: In the same skillet, cook the beef patties over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place two slices of cheese on each patty and cover the pan to allow the cheese to melt thoroughly.
- Assemble the Burger: To build your burger, sandwich each cheesy beef patty between two grilled onion rings, which serve as the buns. Add optional toppings such as pickles or a swipe of mustard or ketchup as desired for extra flavor.
- Serve: Serve the onion-wrapped flying Dutchman burger hot and enjoy the bunless, delicious alternative.
Notes
- For an authentic Flying Dutchman burger experience, avoid any condiments and serve just the cheesy beef patties between the onion rings.
- For a low-carb variation, consider serving these with lettuce wraps or over a fresh salad instead of traditional sides.
