Enjoy quick, delicious Oklahoma Smash Burgers with thin patties, onions, and melty cheese, cooked until crispy. Perfect for a tasty, easy meal! 
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 large onion , thinly sliced
garlic powder , to taste
salt and black pepper , to taste
4 slices American cheese
4 hamburger buns
condiments of choice (mustard, ketchup, pickles, etc.)
optional toppings: lettuce, tomato slices
Instructions
Spray a griddle with nonstick spray and toast your buns over medium heat.
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions. Keep them loosely gathered; do not form into patties yet.
Place a handful of sliced onions on the hot griddle. Put a ball of ground beef on top of the onions.
Smash the beef into the onions using a sturdy spatula, creating about 1/4 inch thick patties. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Cook each patty for 2-3 minutes until the edges are crispy. Flip, cooking for another minute. Add a slice of cheese to each patty and let it melt.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun. Add your preferred condiments and optional toppings. If you’re looking for a double burger, just top two patties on one bun. Serve and enjoy
