Oklahoma onion burgers.Homer Davis and his son Ross invented what they called the Depression burger at the Hamburger Inn in El Reno, Okla., as a way to add inexpensive bulk to their burgers. Rather than being toasted, the buns are steamed in onion-scented vapor. That the technique cooking the patties smashed-style with a huge amount of thinly shaved onions and steaming the buns and restaurant remain popular to this day is a testament to the burgers deliciousness.If you prefer, you can take the cooking (and the oniony aroma) completely out of the house by heating the skillet or griddle directly over a very hot grill and cooking outdoors.------------------------------------------VISIT NYT COOKING: https://cooking.nytimes.com/SUBSCRIBE to NYT COOKING: https://nyti.ms/3FfKmfbA paid subscription gets you full access to our recipes, daily inspiration and a digital Recipe Box.
