You're listening to one-on-one with DP. Presented by Beatrice Bakery. On 937 The Ticket and the Ticket FM.com. Welcome back. It's been a rock-solid hour with Barry Thompson, the coach. And again, through mental health and issues, the stresses that happen to young people generally comes from a lack of connection, a lack of being heard, seen, known. Everybody has a story.

That's what you're seeing all over social media. Everybody has a story. Everybody has the burdens that they're carrying. And the way to get through those things is love. Simple. Love. Love of self. Love of people around you.

Love of what you do. Love of how you do it as well. And then be acknowledged for the things that you do. So as you carry through the day and you just get through, just remember, there is a way to get through. We need to stay connected to each other. be there for each other, listen to each other. We can take care of the stuff.

B. T. Are we cooking? Are we eating? What are we doing? No, we're cooking. We're back to cooking. I feel kind of, you know, a little embarrassed what I'm going to say because it's a Midwestern type thing. So probably most of your audience is familiar with it. But an Oklahoma onion burger, smash burger. It's an outstanding burger. I've just had it before. And I'm really fond of these kind of stretch meals. This comes from a con, you know, into the depression air, right? We meat was really expensive and, you know, you had the stretch thing.

So it's a real simple dish. You've got about two to three ounces of 80-20 ground beef. And you need the 80-20, not the lean stuff, because you're not going to use any oil, but the fat from the meat is going to help cook this. You need an onion, the yellow onion. You need an hamburger bun. and then, you know, generally a pickle, but, you know, whatever else you want with your burger. But I'm just telling you, the onion, the burger, the bun, maybe a pickle is really enough.

You get, if you have a cast iron skill or a griddle, it's great get that thing hot. You can toast the buns first, take them off, and then you take this little ball of about two to three ounces of 80, 20, you know, ground meat, and you put it on to the grill, and you, you, you, you smash it down, right, to get it nice and flat. And then you take a handful of those onions and you put those on top of the burger and you throw your seasonings on top of that. And you've got to be real patient because you don't want to touch this burger until you're absolutely sure that it's developed a crust on the bottom side. You'll need something really, really flat and thin to get up underneath of it.

I'm sorry, one more thing. Once the onions go down, you want to press those onions into the burger, too. And then when it's time to flip it, you get your spats or whatever you have underneath that thing, flip it with confidence. Don't baby flip it with confidence. And now you have the unseasoned side of it up, and you may put some seasoning there if you like. The other side's going to cook about this is probably about a four-minute burger. It doesn't take long.

You let those onions go, and the onions will cook, and they need to be kind of paper-thin. right and they're going to cook to all different types of you know done this some will be crisp some will be caramelized some will be just slightly cleared which really adds to it and then you want to get that spatchew and get up underneath that um i'm sorry before you get to put the bottom bun on the top that unseasoned side while it's finishing on onion side then get up underneath that uh you want to turn that whole thing over put it on the plate and then just put on whatever you want I'm a pickle, maybe mustard guy. Put that on.

It is one of the most, I like hamburgers. It's one of the most delicious. I'm probably going to make one after you go. They're easy to make. Once you have one, they're almost addicted. So onion smash burgers, or they're called Oklahoma, onion smash burgers. There's probably some places in Nebraska that do it.

There's some famous towns, Reno, Oklahoma, and places like that have done it. But an onion smash burger, look up a recipe on YouTube. It's really easy to do. And you will thank the radio station after you have one. Barry, good stuff as usual. We'll do it again next week. Thank you, sir, for your time and what you do and the way you do it. Your heart first, and it is greatly appreciated.
