Ingredients
Scale
Onion Rings
- 2 pieces small white onions, sliced into 1/4 inch thick rounds
- 7 oz shredded parmesan cheese (for enhancing the crisp)
- 0.5 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
- Salt, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Paprika, to taste
Meat Mixture
- 1 lb ground meat (beef, turkey, or blend)
- 0.5 tsp salt (for seasoning)
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder (for flavor)
- 0.5 tsp onion powder (for flavor)
- 0.5 tsp paprika (for flavor)
- 0.5 tsp chili powder (for heat)
- 0.25 cup low sodium chicken broth (to maintain moisture)
Assembly
- 6 slices American cheese (for melting)
- 6 slices ham (for richness)
- 1/3 cup pickles, sliced (for crunch)
Instructions
- Prepare the onion rings: Peel and slice the small white onions into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Coat each ring thoroughly with shredded parmesan cheese. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, and paprika to taste. Set aside.
- Make the meat mixture: In a bowl, combine the ground meat with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder. Add the low sodium chicken broth to the mixture to keep it moist and mix thoroughly until fully combined.
- Form patties around onion rings: Take a portion of meat mixture and carefully shape it around each prepared onion ring so the meat completely encases the onion, forming a ring-shaped patty.
- Cook the patties: Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Place the meat-encased onion rings onto the hot surface and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the meat is cooked through and has a nice sear, and the parmesan coating on the onion rings is crispy.
- Add cheese and ham: Shortly before the patties are done, place a slice of American cheese and ham on top of each patty. Cover to allow the cheese to melt slightly and the ham to warm through, about 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble the rolls: Place each finished cheeseburger onion ring patty on your preferred bread roll. Add sliced pickles for crunch and additional condiments if desired. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the crispy, cheesy, savory combo that wows your guests.
Notes
- You can customize the ground meat to your preference: beef, turkey, or mixed ground meat work well.
- Adjust seasoning levels to your taste, especially paprika and chili powder for varying spice intensity.
- For extra crispiness, you could briefly broil the prepared patties to brown the parmesan coating further.
- Serve with your favorite burger sides like fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- Ensure the onion rings are thick enough to hold the meat but not so thick that they become soggy inside.
