Smashburger Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   Divide the ground beef or turkey into two equal portions and shape them into patties, roughly 3/4 inch thick.

2. 2

   Cook the Onions

   In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the sliced yellow onion until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   In the same skillet, increase the heat to high. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned.

4. 4

   Flip and Add Cheese

   Flip the patties and immediately place 2 slices of cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are finishing, lightly toast the pretzel buns on a separate skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.

6. 6

   Assemble the Smashburger

   Spread mayo on the bottom half of each pretzel bun. Layer with iceberg lettuce, the cooked patties with melted cheese, sautéed onions, pickles, and slices of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
