@@lynnkesh254 don't be stupid. Guga isn't releasing this video 100 years ago is he.... Just because the recipe was created a hundred years ago, doesn't mean he was the first to eat it 100 years ago..
For what it's worth, this was the original principle behind the White Castle burger, as well as several other classic burger joints here in Jersey all dating back to that same time period as White Castle - they put down an enormous pile of onions on the grill and smash the meat patties onto that... and put the buns on top of that to catch the remaining steam. They're a very different mouthfeel from other burgers, but the flavor is amazing.
We had power's hambugers, a slider style burger francise from back in the '30s, i think leting the sliced onions set at least overnight in the cooler adds a bit of magic and of course mustard only.
This is crazy! I have followed Steve”s Not Another Cooking Show for years now. Seeing a huge youtuber like Guga talk about him really made me feel happy for Steve! Love both these guys!
Followed him since like 50k subs. Underrated, but his channel has gotten a lot more recognition the last couple of years!! Now over 1 million subs, which is totally deserved
For all of you thinking of making this: I just made it, and it's divine. Guga's crew did not overexagerate how good it is. I didn't have any spicy mustard, so I used yellow mustard combined with some Franks Red Hot sauce, it was fine
@@kirk1156it has everything to be perfect, good beef, salt, pepper, sauce and the good sweetness of onions, nothing else needed, maybe a slice of cheese but not really relevant, plus is healthier
@@walkelftexasranger Trust me, it is worth a try. Also, you can definitely add lettuce on top of the patty, but it might get a little soggy with how juicy that burger is (Just going to ignore the fact that onions are, indeed, vegetables)
@@walkelftexasranger it is bland and tastes like sh*t ... watery flavorless bland "raw" meat taste unless you drench that sucker in tons of sauce and I've even used spice on the onions ... Don't listen to the 1st guy that's just gargling on guga's d*ck, it's not good.
Onion burgers was a popular item back then because onions where very plentiful and they had more than they could use. It was a good way to make things go further with an item they didnt use a lot but had a lot of
It’s a slightly different take on the Oklahoma onion burger that was born out of the depression era. Specifically to make what meat you had go farther. You can search here on TH-cam for it
There was a burger shop in my hometown when I was a kid.. the guy retired and closed it down.. but he used to make his burgers that way, and they were good. and he used to put cheese and chili sauce on it.🤔
I'm from Philadelphia and my grandmother used to make burgers like that when I was a kid and they were amazing, she would be 113 years old today! Thanks Grandma ❤️ you we're the best!

Thank you for this recipe! Some small towns in Wisconsin sell these from little booths on the sidewalk. Their burgers cook in all the juices on the flat grill. We sometimes put cheese on, but definitely nothing else. Sorry, the buns aren't toasted. It seems the simpler the better with these recipes. Let the foods do most of the work for ya! It's all about the onion and beef gravies. Nothing can beat them!! 😋
Made these tonight since I was already planning on burgers and had a sweet onion and a mandarin slicer I was dying to finally unbox and use. I added garden herb seasoning to the burger meat when making the patties, otherwise I used the same recipe as Guga. Wow! Super juicy burgers and the onions were fantastic and smelled great in my kitchen too while cooking them up! I did cheat and add a slice of American cheese though. My girlfriend actually ate her whole burger in one sitting and that's rare 😮 Thanks Guga and I don't know man.. these may be better than my smash burgers. She said no and likes those too, but I like these better so now I've got a delimma lol 😏🍔
Simple, yet effective. And you can tune this up tremendously with more ingredients for the broth. It's also a really healthy method as it cuts down on so much fat and oil. Really interesting!
I’ve been cooking burgers similarly for years. I never added water to the onions. Just steamed the burgers over the onions (aka White Castle) as they Caramelize. I’ll try the 100yr method next time. Thanks for the video.
Adding water to the onions apparently makes them brown faster. Test Kitchen just did a thing on it. Some guy in the comments mentioned a "3 add" method for extra jammy onions. Still haven't tried it.
@@Quest723The No..adding water to anything stops it from Browning! Browning occurs when the sugars and starches react to the heat and caramelize, when you add water it stops the process of caramelization! 🖖
@@JeanlucPicard-kk2jy What happens with the water is that the steam from the water causes the onions to cook and wilt faster, releasing their juices to start the caramelization process sooner
I’m not counting the salt or buns, because every burger needs those, but damn if it doesn’t ruin the simplicity by adding all those condiments, lol. But honestly, even adding salt and pepper to the patties makes it seem they’re stretching the “just three ingredients” rule more than a little. I mean, I know that they want to make it sound like an amazingly simple burger, but it seems a bit clickbait-y to not at least mention the salt, which is 100% necessary for any type of meat, and also doing a hell of a lot more for the flavor than *water.* Overall, he could have left the bun out of the ingredient list since that’s a given, left out the pepper, and called it a four-ingredient burger…because it would’ve tasted great with just beef, salt, onions and water, and then put on top of a bun.
Not surprised this is good cause this isn't too far off from white castle sliders (although white castle uses very thin patties and cooks them directly on the onions and uses the steam from the onions to cook the patty) and white castle is my guilty pleasure i always order there when im in a state that has one
This is essentially a variation of the White Castle slider- a thicker, more proper burger size that isn't steamed directly on top of the onions, but hey, there's a reason White Castle's still going strong and there's a reason this recipe holds up, and the two probably aren't far off from each other.
The current trend is smashburgers, and have my griddle outside, so I'm guilty. However, I grew up with thicker pub burgers and the iconic White Castle sliders which are steamed on a bed of onions. This is the perfect blend of the latter. They look excellent!
@@brentbrandon1062that's not really taking it further. By takings it further probably use other veggies with the onions (I'm thinking mushrooms) or cheese
I really like this recipe. Very juicy burgers, nice thick patty and I love onions. I used some dijon mustard instead of spicy mustard, and I added some garlic powder to seasoning and steamed some cheese. I really like that it doesnt splatter, it doesn't make too much smoke and the pan is easy to clean afterwards.
I discovered this technique last year and it's perfect if you don't want to make a mess and serve 2 or 3 portions or don't have the space for a charcoal grill. Also, I did come up with the horseraddish spice independently, it is a traditional spice for cooked beef. I prefer fresh horseradish grated into creme fraiche. I also like to add semi-soft portuguese goatmilk cheese to this recipe. I think this might also go well with wasabi.
@@randallhunt9170 The components are there the only thing that's different is cheese and the level of smash. 8020 beef very thinly sliced onions lots of them It's pretty close
@@highlander723 Almost the same components, but the cooking method is different. Which is why putting them up against each other would be a terrific video.
He did the depression burger that is half onion previously. It's now my go to burger, but I think I'm going to try this one tonight (I was coincidentally making burgers for dinner already).
Steamed cheeseburgers are a rather popular thing in pats of Connecticut. They even steam the cheese. There's a stream oven with racks that does the steaming.
Meat, onion, bread, horseradish paste, salt, pepper, ketchup…. “Justa tree inndegreediants” and that’s it. Just three ingredients like he said 20 times
I literally had to come back to the video just to comment. I just made these burgers using your steps, and they were the best most satisfying burger I have ever had, coming from a burger snob. I was hesitant with the soft lack of crust, but the flavor makes up for where the crust is lacking. I'm not sure I will ever cook indoor burgers any other way from now on. Thanks.
A classic burger recipe that stands the test of time. If it tastes good, then it should be worth it. Great video today, Guga. Hopefully Squid Ink Dry Age will be soon. :)
Wow, this has be so intrigued. I cannot make traditional burgers on my cast iron because I make too much smoke everywhere, no option to do it outside. This however looks both really easy to do AND prevents the smoke from searing! I am going to buy some beef next time I am at a grocery store and make this for me and my family. Thank you Guga for spreading this recipe!
Aqui em casa essa receita é um sucesso...e é ótima de se fazer após um longo dia de trabalho, rápida, suculenta, fácil e não deixa a casa cheirando a carne por 1 semana =)
Blackened Cheeseburger ground sirloin patty , 1/2 lb . salt pepper toss it in a dish of blackened grouper seasoning .coat well . cook to medium . add slice cheese of preference 30-45 seconds before removal from heat . bun of choice and garnish of choice of course . we cooked them on a flat grill . enjoy !
This sounds a lot like the Oklahoma onion burger. It came about during the Great Depression. They used the massive amount of onions to act as a filler because beef was too expensive. It was wildly successful and became a staple to this day.
Guga, the upgrade is using bone marrow broth, Mottz did a carnival burger regional thing and its one of my favorite special burgers ive done off you tube. I fully recommend giving it a try, or even your own take on it
honestly it's surprising that a meat master like Guga didn't know this-- this is how we cook hamburger steak where i live! it's beyond good, and picturing one of my mama's hamburger steaks on a brioche bun has my mouth watering already! nice work!
This reminds me of how I cook sliders! Slider patties on a layer of onions in a pot with the lid on. Steaming burgers with onion juice! Mix 2lb of ground turkey with 1lb of breakfast sausage for the patties....best sliders ever!
This is very close to how I've always made burgers. Only I use cheese n a hotter pan to get a crust. Then reduce heat a little n add water. It allows a crust n still has the added flavor n juice
I always poke holes in the meat buns and then put the juicy onion over it, then i flip it and sear it. Keeping the onion juice inside the bun. The burger are always juicy and flavor full, I always add some spice like paprika and little bit of spicy pepper in the meat mix.
Basically a thick white castle burger, they do the same thing, patty is cooked on top of the onions and the bun is placed on top of the patty so it absorbs all the steam
stopped at 3:22 when he added the high fructose tomato flavored goo that belongs on nothing....BUT, I did like @theribbofit comment to add regular mustard (hopefully French's) and FRANKS! NICE!! I would try that!
Hi Guga ! You always use garlic powder to season your steak, but I was wondering if it would not be better to use other garlic seasoning like fresh garlic, garlic paste or some kind of garlic compound better ? Would you make a video about testing different kind of garlic seasoning to find out the best way ? Love you
Sorta reminds me of a take on an Oklahoma Onion Burger. Except you got none of the sear. Like boiled version of it. Sounds pretty good. I bet you could safely go a little leaner beef if you wanted. Or, and I know this isn't a Turkey channel, but this seems perfect for ground turkey that is usually really lean.
The onion is high in sugar, and introduces sugars to the broth when cooking. Addition of the meat into that allows for the maillard reaction to happen. Also, the onion allows for a lot of umami flavouring. Add some parmesam or a similar hard (strong flavoured) cheese you'll not regret it - not american cheese in this case.
There is a very famous burger stand in WI that has been doing this for generations. Place is open during the summer and fall and has a line down the block every minute they are open. Burgers taste more like meatloaf than a burger. Tasty but different.
Guga. Please do thus challenge. 1/3 lb burger. Not smashed. Compare 1:1 Chuck:A5 to 2: 1 Chuck:A5 to 3:1 Chuck A5 to 4:1 Chuck:A5. That would be interesting.
The way the meat and onions are prepared is a really old German recipe. It’s called bellschuh and is from the Frankfurt area. But it’s eaten with a piece of German black bread on the side.
This was a burger I grew up with but my mom added a bit of onion soup mix for seasoning. 🍔

Only I use cheese n a hotter pan to get a crust. Then reduce heat a little n add water. It allows a crust n still has the added flavor n juice
This is also great done in a steamer pot instead of sitting in water. Great with chopped onion in the beef and stuffed with smoked gruyere.
Just how my Aunt Jane made them when I was a boy in the 1950s . She used toasted white bread and buttered bread . They are great
I always poke holes in the meat buns and then put the juicy onion over it, then i flip it and sear it. Keeping the onion juice inside the bun. The burger are always juicy and flavor full, I always add some spice like paprika and little bit of spicy pepper in the meat mix.
Both the onions and the patty had the browning reaction when you cooked them. The flavor from the reaction is definitely in this meal
Great post. I have cooked this type of burger, try cooking onion in Beer. Its a big hit.
Oh, I've GOTTA try this one!
Basically a thick white castle burger, they do the same thing, patty is cooked on top of the onions and the bun is placed on top of the patty so it absorbs all the steam
stopped at 3:22 when he added the high fructose tomato flavored goo that belongs on nothing....BUT, I did like @theribbofit comment to add regular mustard (hopefully French's) and FRANKS! NICE!! I would try that!
I'd add some powdered onion soup mix with the water and get your flame thrower out to try and get a crust on the outside? New school meets old school?
I'll have to try this!!!
onion caramelization is decent but if you've made french onion soup, you can go further! Also, sharp cheddar slice on the bottom. Maybe bacon too.
Looks good, I'll try/do that on my next burger.
think whitecastle does this method for there sliders but they steam the meat on top the onions :3
White Castle. The OG fast food chain. The only things older are Louie's Lunch and that place in Connecticut that uses a steamer to cook everything.
Hi Guga !
You always use garlic powder to season your steak, but I was wondering if it would not be better to use other garlic seasoning like fresh garlic, garlic paste or some kind of garlic compound better ?
Would you make a video about testing different kind of garlic seasoning to find out the best way ?
Love you
The desperation at 1:50-ish is seriously priceless! 🤣🤣
I don’t think anything you cook could ever be bad, those looked delicious ❤ your channel 😊
Sorta reminds me of a take on an Oklahoma Onion Burger. Except you got none of the sear. Like boiled version of it. Sounds pretty good. I bet you could safely go a little leaner beef if you wanted. Or, and I know this isn't a Turkey channel, but this seems perfect for ground turkey that is usually really lean.
Try making soft onions with sugar added at the end.
I made these and was impressed, I'm either smash burger guy or I do something similar with dehydrated onions, like a white castle.
Very nice. Thank you.
Gonna give this a try.
made it today and it was AWESOME!!!!! thank you Guga :-D
I just tried this… Incredible…
Pete's Burgers in Prairie du Chein, Wisconsin have made these for over 100 years and they are the best.
LITERALLY was looking for a new 10-12" pan that can handle the oven and broiler that isnt cast iron. thanks!
The onion is high in sugar, and introduces sugars to the broth when cooking. Addition of the meat into that allows for the maillard reaction to happen. Also, the onion allows for a lot of umami flavouring. Add some parmesam or a similar hard (strong flavoured) cheese you'll not regret it - not american cheese in this case.
You have to try a burger with Lingon berry jam! Amazing!!
Yoooo! That thumbnail alone has changed my homemade burger life. Awesome stuff there. Keep on rockin'! 🤘
There is a very famous burger stand in WI that has been doing this for generations. Place is open during the summer and fall and has a line down the block every minute they are open. Burgers taste more like meatloaf than a burger. Tasty but different.
Guga. Please do thus challenge. 1/3 lb burger. Not smashed. Compare 1:1 Chuck:A5 to 2: 1 Chuck:A5 to 3:1 Chuck A5 to 4:1 Chuck:A5. That would be interesting.
Great recipe, Guga! I will try this here at home
Pete’s Hamburgers in Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin!! This is their method
The way the meat and onions are prepared is a really old German recipe. It’s called bellschuh and is from the Frankfurt area. But it’s eaten with a piece of German black bread on the side.
