For optimal flavor, consider using a high-quality ground beef with a good fat content (around 80/20). Don't overcrowd the pan. Cooking in batches ensures proper caramelization and browning. Adjust the seasoning to your personal preference. A pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika can add extra depth of flavor to the patties. For a sharper flavor, use a mix of yellow and red onion.

Follow The Directions
01
StepCarefully cut four ½-inch thick slices from the center of the white onion. Reserve the remaining onion for another culinary creation. Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and gently form each into a thin patty. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
02
StepHeat a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add two onion slices to the hot pan and cook undisturbed until beautifully caramelized, approximately 2 minutes. Introduce two seasoned beef patties to the pan alongside the onions. Continue cooking until the patties are richly browned, about 2-3 minutes, pressing down to maximize contact with the skillet. Flip both the onion slices and burger patties. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)
03
StepAdorn one onion slice and each burger patty with two slices of American cheese (cut into thirds for even melting). Stack one cheesy burger atop the cheese-covered onion slice, then crown it with the remaining cheesy burger patty. Place the final onion slice over the burgers, gently pressing to meld the layers. Flip the entire stack and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the cheese is perfectly melted and the onions are tender. Remove from the pan and set aside. Repeat this process with the remaining onions, burger patties, and cheese. (Assembly and cook time: 5-7 minutes)
04
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and sweet pickle relish until well combined. This will serve as your delectable burger sauce. Serve the Onion Wrapped Flying Dutchmen immediately, accompanied by the prepared sauce. (Sauce prep time: 2 minutes)
