Mike's Oklahoma Open Faced Onion Sandwiches

AKA: The Big Oklahoma Nasty - During the Dust Bowl in Oklahoma in the 1930s farmers found themselves with more onions, potatoes and flour than they did beef. With that, they created a grilled burger consisting of 40% beef and 60% Spanish onions served only with fries. Since then a few variations have been created. This is my super easy delicious take on them. Great work kiddos.

Cooking Instructions

Here's what you'll need. Butter not pictured. Definitely use the packet gravy. It carries that same salt flavor as it does in Oklahoma.

Season your formed patties top and bottom.
- 4
This is the very best pre-fabed brand out there. Just microwave.
- 5
Add your beef stock and water. Bring to a steady boil. Add your powdered gravy. Whisk constantly until gravy is thickened. Add less water if you want a thicker gravy.
- 6
When your onions are almost translucent - add your patties.
- 7
Fry onion until fully translucent.
- 8
Finish frying your patties until medium rare.
- 9
Set aside and toast your bread.

Typically I'd have my culinary students grill these chicken breasts but it's way too cold out tonight. Or, I'd have them broil them but my new oven crapped out and won't be fixed until tomorrow. With that, they were forced to pan sear then throw the breasts in to the Salamander to melt the cheeses and heat the tomatoes.

Mike's [2 Way] Green Chile Pulled Pork Sandwiches & Stew Mike's [2 Way] Green Chile Pulled Pork Sandwiches & Stew
Here in New Mexico, we put spicy Hatch Green Chilies in literally almost everything we eat and, usually wrap them up in warm, fresh flour tortillas. Hell, I'm surprised we haven't invented green chile pancakes or ice cream with them at this point. Yup. We're all that addicted. Even the kiddos.Anyway, my 7 to 8 year old students absolutely adore Spicy Southern BBQ Pulled Pork as well as Green Chile Stew. With that, I charged them today with creating a Mexican Green Chile Pulled Pork dish all by themselves. Well, they couldn't decide if they wanted sandwiches or stew so together, they compromised. Both dishes were made from the same green chile batch.This is such an easy recipe, know my students all ate hot dogs and hamburgers and, played endless Marco Polo in the pool while their pork roast slowly simmered away. Taking breaks only to layer their scrumptious dishes. So darned cute! ♡You do have the option of serving this dish wet or dry. Depending upon the amount of broth you add to it. If serving on the wet side - like a stew - use flour tortillas to dip in it. Dry, on the other hand, works with just about anything.Put this [dry] deliciously spicy, flavorful meat in flour or corn tortillas, on tacos, tortas, tostadas, in rolled deep fried taquitos, burritos, sopes, with tortilla chips, enchiladas, chimichangas or even on buns. This really is one heck of a versatile recipe!Created, documented and photographed solely by my imaginative, brilliant, adventurous, adorable, tiny little students! I swear - KIDS ROCK! MMOBRIEN
