A smash burger that is fried with thinly sliced onions. I use a thicker steak for this one and combine it with basic ingredients.

Here is a variation of smashburger where I fry thinly sliced onion under the patty directly in the frying pan. Normally I use 2 smaller patties when I make smashburgers, but here it is a little easier with a larger one to cover the onion and give it time to cook.
I didn't have any cheese at home when I made this recipe and took the pictures, but generally smashburgers are so much better with cheese so I think I will add a slice next time I make this.
I have written a little about my experiences with smashburgers in this article and hope that it can explain the things that I may not go through in detail right here in the recipe. There I write a little about what type of ground beef is good to use and things to think about in general.
I don't have a fancy griddle or the like unfortunately, but you can also do this in a regular durable frying pan. However, the frying pan needs to withstand a little scraping so use carbon steel or stainless steel frying pan (absolutely do not use a frying pan with a non-stick coating). Sure, it's a bit cramped in the pan, but you can do it in batches instead if you think it's easier. Personally, I don't care that much if the burger turns out a little lopsided - that's just part of the charm. It's definitely delicious anyway.
