Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Slice the large onion into thin rings. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the ground beef into 3 equal portions (6 oz each) and form them into patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    In the same skillet used for the onions, add a bit more oil if necessary. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of fried breaded white cheddar on top of each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the desired doneness is reached.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the brioche buns in half and toast them lightly in another skillet or toaster until golden.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun, layer a patty with melted white cheddar, followed by a generous portion of caramelized onions, house pickles, and a drizzle of Aluna sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Big Daddy Smash Burgers hot with your favorite side dishes.
