I love onion too and that's one thing that I always keep on hand and never
forget to buy. That's one staple that should always be fresh too, not
frozen, powdered or whatever.

As far as what to put on hamburgers. Interesting that nobody has said the
old favorite, "with the works." That's me.

My ultimate home/diner burger is some good beef (ground sirloin is
good)cooked with a bit of worchestershire sauce. After flipping it, add thin
slice of cheese and toss some sliced onions into the pan on the sides.

Take a nice soft bun....a good one, not a cheap one then add:
- thick slather of mayo to the bottom side of bun
- add the semi cooked onions
- add your thick burger
- one nice slice of homegrown tomato
- add some S&P
- iceburg lettuce
- squirt on some mustard
- squirt on some ketchup
- top with the other half of the bun

Thinly sliced pickles are good too or put some wedges on the plate.
Nice salty potato chips are good with this (Lay's Classic)
Or some good salty boardwalk fries

That's just me and it works so well here. :-D
