The idea for this recipe came from my darling little sis-in-law. I asked if she’d had any amazing food lately and she told me about this super yummy burger she ordered from a restaurant in Las Vegas called the Steak n’ Shake. She said it was basically a western bacon cheeseburger except that it had thin, crispy fried onions on top. I’d only tried western bacon burgers with the big fat onion rings but I always pulled them off and ate them separate from the burger cause it was too much of a mouthful for me. But thin crispy onion strings?? Genius. Life’s problems are solved! At least one anyway. Oh baby. I could eat those onion strings all day long. And the next day. And the next day. Burger or not they’re crazy delish but since we’re talking about a burger recipe here, let’s include the beef shall we? These burgers might seem like a lot of work but I promise you they really are super easy. The crispy onions fry up in about 2 minutes and then you just grill the burgers and throw everything together. Easy as pie. Onion strings adapted from Pioneer Woman.
