Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the iceberg lettuce, slice the onion, and prepare the pickles.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the ground beef into two equal portions (about 8 ounces each) and gently shape them into balls without overworking the meat.

  3. 3

    Heat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat a cast-iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the beef balls on the hot surface. Using a spatula, smash each ball down to about 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until a crust forms, then flip.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese

    Immediately place two slices of American cheese on each patty after flipping. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Smashburger

    Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the bottom half of the burger buns. Layer with smashed patties, lettuce, pickles, and onion. Top with the other half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Cut the burger in half if desired and serve immediately with your favorite side.
