Tips and tricks

  • Slice the onions with a knife, don't grate them. Small onion pieces will help your beef be juicier.
  • Fry on medium heat. Low heat could overcook your beef and dry it, and too much heat might burn it.
  • Always toast your buns. If you don't toast them, they might lose their shape when you put the vegetables inside them.
  • You can remove all the spices except salt and pepper. I like to have them in my burger but they are optional.

Background & History

I've made a lot of hamburgers and this recipe is the juiciest one. When I first saw this recipe I wondered how is it possible to use chopped onions for hamburgers? Then I realized that these chopped onions actually make the beef juicier by keeping the moisture inside them.
