Ingredients (US measurements)

• 1 pound ground beef
• 4 onion hamburger buns
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 tomato slices
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large onion, cut into rings
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Shape the mixture into patties, ensuring they are slightly larger than the hamburger buns.
2. Preheat a grill or a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the beef patties for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Place a slice of cheese on top of each patty during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to allow it to melt.
3. While the patties are cooking, prepare the onion rings. In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Dip each onion ring into the buttermilk, then coat it in the flour mixture.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add the coated onion rings to the hot oil, frying them in batches for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
5. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are lightly browned.
6. Assemble the Crispy Onion Ring Burger by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun. Top it with a cooked beef patty, followed by a tomato slice and a generous pile of crispy onion rings. Finish it off with the top bun, and if you're feeling adventurous, add some extra cheese or your favorite sauce.
7. Serve the burger warm and enjoy the explosion of flavors and textures with every bite!
