Ingredients
Scale
Beef Patties
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Onion Wrap
- 1 large yellow onion (sliced into thick rings)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for grilling)
Toppings (Optional)
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- Pickles
- Mustard
- Ketchup
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape each into thin, wide patties that are slightly larger than the onion rings. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Wrap with Onion Rings: Separate the onion slices into full rings and select the largest ones that can fully encircle the patties. Carefully press an onion ring around the edge of each patty to create the onion ‘wrap.’
- Preheat and Oil the Pan: Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add the olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
- Cook the Burgers: Place the patties onion-side down on the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes until the onions start to brown and soften. Flip the burgers and cook for another 3–4 minutes until ground beef is fully cooked through.
- Add Cheese and Melt: Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and allow it to melt slightly while still on the heat.
- Serve: Serve the burgers hot, topped with optional pickles, mustard, or ketchup. For a low-carb meal, enjoy without any bun or additional bread.
Notes
- For extra support and flavor, use two onion rings per burger to form a sturdier wrap.
- Cheddar cheese can be substituted with Swiss, provolone, or pepper jack depending on your personal taste preferences.
- This recipe is great for keto and low-carb diets, offering a satisfying bunless burger alternative.
