I just made a batch of these, and now I'm throwing out Mom's recipe. I never understood why the burgers I cooked at home tasted so different from those in a fast food joint.

Was out in Colorado last week, and noticed a new burger place, called "Smash Burger"- does anyone know about this in the Silverthrone area? Funny that I would stumble across this web site.

Slice an onion very thinly (a mandoline works best). After you put the ball of meat in the skillet, flatten the top just a bit with a spatula, then put a handful of onion slices atop before you smash the burger. Smash the onions into the burger as hard as you can, let cook briefly and then flip and smash the burger again, salt and put a slice of American cheese on top. It's done when the cheese melts and you can smell the onions beginning to burn. The burger book I got this from (can't remember the name) calls it "strangely addictive." They're right! I add mustard and pickle but they're very tasty without. These look good but let me suggest a variation that I have been making for a couple of years now.
