This copycat onion wrapped flying Dutchman is essentially a cheeseburger served in an onion "bun" that is tender, crisp, and sweet, and pairs perfectly well with the richness of the meat.
- 1 large onion
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Slice the onion into thin rings and separate them into individual layers. Set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
4. Take a small handful of the beef mixture and shape it into a patty. Place the patty onto one of the onion layers and wrap the onion around it, sealing the beef patty inside. Repeat with the remaining beef mixture and onion layers.
5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once the pan is hot, add the onion-wrapped beef patties and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned.
6. Transfer the patties to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the beef is fully cooked.
7. Serve the copycat onion wrapped flying dutchman with your choice of sides, such as a side salad or roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
