Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    Divide the ground beef into 2 equal portions (about 4 oz each). Gently form them into balls and season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the Grill or Skillet

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add the cooking oil to the skillet if using.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Place the beef balls on the hot skillet or grill. Using a spatula, firmly smash each ball into a patty (about ½ inch thick). Cook for about 3-4 minutes until a crust forms.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese melts.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the seeded hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Smashburger

    Spread 2 tablespoons of moo sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a cheesy patty on top, add dill pickle slices, and cover with the top half of the bun.
