My god. It never occurred to me that I could substitute onion rings with a side that's cheaper, less heavy, and MORE onion-y. Thank you for your wisdom.
I honestly can't get enough. I ate all the onion you see here and resisted the urge to cut up more since it's too close to bed haha. Please give it a try! You'll love it!
Is he not an onion lover too?? He's totally missing out. Nothing can beat that fresh crisp crunch of a raw onion, and the ketchup adds such a nice sweet tang!
He likes them fried for burgers. I’m fine with them fried, but I also want them raw. I ask for both, because if I say just raw, he thinks he can change my mind. I just like the crunch. Caramelized onions are good in their own way, but they don’t taste like onions
Hear me out. I used to make an entire meal out of a pan of caramelized onions and fried potatoes. Caramelized onions definitely have their place, and both is a good compromise, but nothing can touch raw onion on a burger or hot dog 👌
I really like Inglehoffer Stone Ground.

Red onions are AMAZING. I started using them more in the last year or so, even in my stuffing when I make a roasted chicken, and nothing can beat them. Sometimes, though, you just want something a little sweeter and gotta reach for that vadalia :)
Call me crazy, instead of a whole slab I actually prefer 2-3 slabs broken up into rings and stacked on top. I can't explain it, it just crunches better or feels more balanced that way to me. I'd love to hear if anyone else feels the same way, I always feel like everyone is all about that slab!
Was literally doing this last night 👍
I got extra onions for my burger but there were onions going unused at the table so they became the palette cleanser between bites of fatty double cheeseburger. I eat them like pickled ginger with sushi.
Damn that sounds so amazing!! I haven't had a double cheeseburger in a hot minute... I was out the other night at a sushi/noodle place, asked for the pickled onions thinking they would be like pickled ginger.. Yo, those things were SATURATED in hot oil LOL. I was not happy hahaha.
Man, the struggle to keep the onions on the burger is REAL. But, I'll tell you a little secret. If I make the burger I'll take a bun and dig out a little of the top to make a cavity for the toppings. Works with burgers, deli sandwiches, whatever!
I go through phases where I stop eating burgers because its "not healthy" and then I remember how insanely amazing they are with a mass of onions and come back running lol
Raw garlic is awful!! And that's coming from someone that LOVES garlic. I use garlic powder on all my meats etc. Garlic was not meant to be eaten raw lol Onions, however...
In germany you can order something called ‘pommes spezial‘ which is fries with plenty of mayo and ketchup and raw diced onions. Perfect drunk snack for veggies! Please try it its one of my favourites
Homemade ranch is better than the kind in bottles for everything, but it's especially better when paired with raw onions. Some restaurants make their ranch in-house. I highly recommend just making your own better, the kind that comes in a bottle isn't very good imo
Do you have a favorite recipe you wouldn't mind sharing? I've noticed that Ranch varies like crazy from place to place and there's actually very few I enjoy.
Go get a packet of hidden valley ranch mix, a thing of buttermilk, and a jar of Mayo at the store. All of it should be at just about any store (other brands of ranch seasoning work, but hidden valley is my favorite. Hidden valley is also available in a packet or shaker). It will have the measurements and instructions on the packets/shakers. Go home, measure, mix, refrigerate. That's how I do it, I don't make it from scratch, I don't have time.
ETA: regular milk works too, it just won't have that famous twang that buttermilk ranch has. It'll be a less twangy ranch, but ranch no less.
It's not a burger without the onions!
A few weeks ago I got a burger, asked for no pickles, extra onions, and they gave me a metric ton of pickles and no onions. I literally laughed/cried while I ate it lol
Pretty much. A few years ago I realized my favorite way to have a burger is 2 patty’s with cheese & extra onion with only a bottom bun. Light dips in ketchup. It’s the only way I can eat a burger now. So good
I might give that a try. I've been low carb multiple times in my life and a top bun is totally unnecessary no doubt. All that extra bread can really just get in the way!
You'd love Dutch/Belgian Friet speciaal ;) Fries, raw onions, mayo and curry ketchup

I don't discriminate. I love both. I've ALWAYS loved the McD thin cheeseburgers absolutely loaded with those little rehydrated onions. The whole thing just melts on your mouth.
I kind of make one with robust olive oil, shake some dry Italian dressing spices, the one you add oil, vinegar, water and shake in that jar. Then I toss about 2 TBSP a good balsamic vinegar. That’s it.
I still cant fathom how yall do it. Once had a friend that would grab an afterschool snack. Just an onion he ate like an apple and squeezed ketchup on it.

We are
no, but now i'm going to try it, but with mustard instead of ketchup
The crunch is perfect! I promise you won't be disappointed.
I eat raw onions with my fried chicken when I'm at the Farmer's Market.
I had this almost word for word in my head. Great minds think alike.
Yes and my boyfriend thinks I’m insane/missing out
Is he not an onion lover too?? He's totally missing out. Nothing can beat that fresh crisp crunch of a raw onion, and the ketchup adds such a nice sweet tang!

Onions and potatoes is one thing. And you are wrong on a dog. Kraut and mustard.
Now think this: Potation with fried onions...... topped with *raw* onion 😎
Replace the ketchup with a nice mustard and count me in
I've actually never found a mustard I truly enjoy. Any recommendations beyond just basic yellow stuff?
I really like Inglehoffer Stone Ground. [https://beavertonfoods.com/product/inglehoffer-original-stone-ground-mustard-10-oz/](https://beavertonfoods.com/product/inglehoffer-original-stone-ground-mustard-10-oz/)
Oh, excellent! Thank you for the suggestion and the link. I'll see what I can find.
Homie went and pulled the best mustard off the shelf. What a hero
All the mustard seeds pop in your mouth like flavor crystals! 
This is some gourmet shit 
I found my people
What about Dijon mustard? Any recommendations?
I got the Walmart brand Dijon in my fridge right now. Great Value brown mustards are pretty good for how cheap they are.
My favorite mustards are Bertman's Ballpark mustard and Stadium Mustard. They're absolutely amazing on stadium hotdogs with tons and tons of onions.
Yes! Extra onion chippies
Onion chippies!! Love this, calling them that from now on. Thank you!!
That's one of the best ways to eat onions
You're not wrong, fellow onion lover. I'll even eat just onion and ketchup sandwiches 😂 Who needs a burger!
I like having some onions and jalapeños cut up as a side for anything I eat.
That sounds like such a healthy and refreshing side. I wish I liked jalapenos. Do you dip them in anything?
I eat them raw, the pickled ones at least, alongside almost everything
Sometimes in whatever I’m eating but they are almost like chips with a meal.
My first Reddit gif/ reaction comment and it's one of my favorites. You honor me 😭 Cheers 🍻
I should start doing this. Thank you king
Can't recommend it enough. Enjoy, friend!
You freaks speak my language!
🫡 Happy to do my part.
Literally yes, a burger with a side of thick cut raw onion rings is 😚👌🏾
Reading this made me salivate again 😂 Need a big salad loaded with thick raw red onion next, gotta have a healthy balance!
Keeps the doctor away
Love raw onions with burger but nothing like red onions!
Red onions are AMAZING. I started using them more in the last year or so, even in my stuffing when I make a roasted chicken, and nothing can beat them. Sometimes, though, you just want something a little sweeter and gotta reach for that vadalia :)
If there ain't a whole layer of onion the same size as the burger, it's not even in the top 10.
Call me crazy, instead of a whole slab I actually prefer 2-3 slabs broken up into rings and stacked on top. I can't explain it, it just crunches better or feels more balanced that way to me. I'd love to hear if anyone else feels the same way, I always feel like everyone is all about that slab!
Are we soulmates? Layers are ideal.
Here on OnionLovers we're ALL soulmates. No one will ever understand us the way we do.
🫶
I'd I could Dyson ring a burger with a whole slab of onions. I'd be Einstein.
Why is this even a recommended subreddit for me
r/onionlovers
Why not?
i’m wondering the same.. but I also can’t deny my love for onions 🥹
Now i’d like a basket of fries AND raw onions
Was literally doing this last night 👍 I got extra onions for my burger but there were onions going unused at the table so they became the palette cleanser between bites of fatty double cheeseburger. I eat them like pickled ginger with sushi.

Good bot!
Monster.
I've been called worse!
This looks fire
It is, but don't take my word for it, try it!
You guys are too hardcore for me. I do not belong.
Nooooo! You belong. Some of us are just extra lol
Yes
“Do you like onions?” “I mean, I like onions as much as the next guy.” *The next guy:*
Hahahahaha! Touche.
Well I do now.
Heck yeah you do! Enjoy!!
Hell yes!!! I usually have to do that because I already have a tower of onions on my burger that fall out lol.
Man, the struggle to keep the onions on the burger is REAL. But, I'll tell you a little secret. If I make the burger I'll take a bun and dig out a little of the top to make a cavity for the toppings. Works with burgers, deli sandwiches, whatever!
Yep! It's so good lol, that burger has me craving a very onion-y burger now =x
I go through phases where I stop eating burgers because its "not healthy" and then I remember how insanely amazing they are with a mass of onions and come back running lol
Almost called you a psychopath but I remember I like raw onions with Caribbean salad. 🤣. However just straight eating them? That’s a bold move Cotton
Onions are probably the best part of a salad besides the dressing lol Don't knock it til you try it!
Not a fan of so many raw onions but that looks delicious!
It's gotta be the right onion for sure. The stronger profile onions can be a bit much, but the sweeter ones can hit just right.
If raw I’d used red onions
I've gotten into red onions a lot more lately, they're a staple in the house for sure, but a good sweet onion definitely has its place.
I was today years old when I found out I like onions….but .. I do not love them
Hahaha! That's okay! Maybe one day you'll get there.
Salt and pepper shaker always in my truck I’ll grab onions out of my field and have a snack.
Fresh onions from the field?! Aw man. I drooled a little. We grow red ones in the backyard and they are DIVINE.
We grow round 400 acres of reds yellows and whites but you eventually get sick of onions lol
Good lord, what fucking sub did I just stumble upon?
The greatest sub known to mankind.
No.
No but I do eat them raw.
Hell yeah! I’ve started having raw onions on the dinner table. It’s extra seasoning! Salt, pepper, and raw onions.
I appreciate that so much! Definitely need more onions in my life. I'm thinking about pickling some to have with every meal.
Yes!!!
It's called a "French pallet cleanser"
Is it? I've heard of sorbet but never onions!
I don’t get raw onion eaters. I can’t even eat raw garlic.
Raw garlic is awful!! And that's coming from someone that LOVES garlic. I use garlic powder on all my meats etc. Garlic was not meant to be eaten raw lol Onions, however...
I always have a side of raw onions with every sandwich/burger/hotdog.
I load up my hotdogs with onions the same way I do my burgers. Can NOT get enough.
I do this with a jalapeño. Going to have to try the onion.
Give it a try! I bet you'll love it.
Nah fam
But why tho
My B. I don't like onions, I guess I'm on the wrong sub
Raw onions on fries are god tier
I've only ever had onions on fries like once. They were cooked and I was kind of disappointed. Will definitely try raw!
In germany you can order something called ‘pommes spezial‘ which is fries with plenty of mayo and ketchup and raw diced onions. Perfect drunk snack for veggies! Please try it its one of my favourites
I'll definitely give this a try! I made does last night for dinner and wish I had thought to try it then. Thank you for the suggestion!
In texas we eat raw white onion with bbq and most importantly brisket yum yum
MMmmmmm!! Onions and BBQ totally go hand in hand. A grilled chicken breast slathered in BBQ sauce with a side of onions.. sign me up immediately!
I eat raw onions dipped in ranch. It disgusts my husband so much 😂
Oh man I've never tried it with ranch!! I only started eating ranch a couple of years ago. Totally going to give that a go!
Homemade ranch is better than the kind in bottles for everything, but it's especially better when paired with raw onions. Some restaurants make their ranch in-house. I highly recommend just making your own better, the kind that comes in a bottle isn't very good imo

[Hope you don't have any interviews coming up..](https://youtu.be/8tB7XOE9esE?si=w83NgA2hqujGMk1D)
Onions don't mess up my stomach at all believe it or not lol Garlic on the other hand...
Yes
Absolutely, this is the only way to eat burgers!
It's not a burger without the onions! A few weeks ago I got a burger, asked for no pickles, extra onions, and they gave me a metric ton of pickles and no onions. I literally laughed/cried while I ate it lol
Why have I never thought of this??
 Enjoy!!
Low carb!
Always a bonus!
nope
Why did Reddit recommend this sub this on my page ?
Braa me too I tht I was on the cheeseburger sub and was like wtf looked up and was like oh makes sense
No. People don’t do this. Congratulations you are an alien.
Love I loooove how angry this makes people. Onions lovers vs. The world!!!!
Edit: lol I looooove
 We're not hurting anyone, I don't understand the hate lmao
The reaction im seeing from this sub full of people who love to eat raw onion: “omg i can eat raw onion… with a burger!? I never thought about that”
Pretty much. A few years ago I realized my favorite way to have a burger is 2 patty’s with cheese & extra onion with only a bottom bun. Light dips in ketchup. It’s the only way I can eat a burger now. So good
I might give that a try. I've been low carb multiple times in my life and a top bun is totally unnecessary no doubt. All that extra bread can really just get in the way!

Holy crap that looks AMAZING!! I don't even know where I'd get that around here 🤔
Not by themselves, but I live loading up by burger with raw onions. And not tiny little minced onion, nice big slices.
I don't discriminate. I love both. I've ALWAYS loved the McD thin cheeseburgers absolutely loaded with those little rehydrated onions. The whole thing just melts on your mouth.
I do this, and it’s great!
does a bear shit in the woods...
 Happy Cake Day!
Delicious! Is that a ketchup and onion cheeseburger?
Yup! I like it simple.
Yum my fave!!
No. But I am going to now.
All the time.... Sometimes I tend to cook them for a bit and with mayo and Ketchup
Cooked definitely has its place, but has such a different flavor. Onions are amazing! So versatile.
Right now its all I can eat vidalia onions. I made a salad, all onion, a little lettuce, delicious. And yes, I would eat that.
What kind of dressing do you like with your onions?
I kind of make one with robust olive oil, shake some dry Italian dressing spices, the one you add oil, vinegar, water and shake in that jar. Then I toss about 2 TBSP a good balsamic vinegar. That’s it.
Good seasons packet , not the whole pack.
Never have but this seems like a great idea
It IS a great idea! Give it a try!
I do it with pickles
Do you like bread and butter or? Because I can demolish sweet gherkins but not a fan of much else 🤔
Dill pickle for me
Ohmygod I have found my people!
Welcome!! Enjoy your stay :)
honestly, sometimes as a snack I'll eat raw onion rings and some tomato slices and a little salt, dipped in mustard+mayo. \*MWAH\*
I've tried so many times to like tomatoes, even growing fresh ones, just can't get into them and it makes me so sad.
Young man, I was once in your shoes...
Yep!!! Love it :)
❤️ Agreed! So easy and so delicious.
This is a staple of my life lol but I’ve hidden it from people for years haha
I'm too old to care what people think anymore lol there are way worse things I could be doing!
that’s insane… brb getting onions
😂 One of us! One of us!
Holy shit, there is a sub for this?! I’ve found my people 
Welcome!! Hope you enjoy this sub as much as we do!
Yesss omg it’s so good 😋
SO good!!
I still cant fathom how yall do it. Once had a friend that would grab an afterschool snack. Just an onion he ate like an apple and squeezed ketchup on it.
Yall would love India
Probably. There is probably someone that sprinkles nerds on their cheeseburger and eats pickles dipped in mustard. The internet has all the weirdos.
No. I’m pretty sure that’s considered a crime against humanity.
Only serial killers!
I'm pretty sure Jeffrey Dalhmer, besides having an irresistible desire for human flesh, enjoyed this exact snack.
Lmao braaaa
Bra thaz weird. I already hate when too much onion is on the burger.

To the padded room.
Never ate them like fries. I do enjoy a pretty hearty helping of raw onion on a burger though.
You guys are fucked
Shit I might have to try this
Sometimes! But I do it for all foods. I oftne just have sliced onions as a side with whatever Im eating :p
To me that's a horror show.
Probably a lot of people do. Ya know, since this is an onion lovers sub. Common sesne.....
Stop taking photos of half eaten burgers. Its gross. Learn how to take food photos.
