Rehydrated Onions, Mcdonald's Style

cookee monster's Note:

I worked at McDonald's many years ago. This is the way that they made the onions for the burgers. I did this to go with Big Mac Sauce - Copycat - Dairy Free. I'm guessing at the yield but you can get enough for 4-5 burgers depending on how much you like funky onions.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
• 1/8 cup water

Directions:

1. Put onion and water in a small microwave proof bowl. Heat for 30 seconds on medium. Let sit 15 minutes or until the water has been absorbed. If the onions still seem wet you can press out the extra water with the back of a spoon. Spread onion on top half of your hamburger bun.

This recipe is great. I've tried many unsuccessful times to rehydrate my onion to get that "fast food taste". I've never though to microwave them. They turned out perfectly.

These are great! They definitely make me feel like I'm eating a McDonald's burger! I couldn't believe how simple & easy it was! I used them with Big Mac Sauce - Copycat - Dairy Free for our Big Mac meal :) We'll definitely be using this on burgers to come! Thanks!
