Wonnie Burgers!

"Absolutely the best modified burgers! My mother invented these and people have asked for these burgers for years and years. There have been many imitators, but the original is Wonnie's. You can adjust any of the ingredients to fit your taste. Remember that the onion mix should be one packet per every 2 pounds of ground beef. Serve with your best buns and toppings! "
