Oklahoma Smashburger Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Caramelize Onions

   In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Slice the onions thinly and add them to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until they are soft and golden brown. Add salt and pepper to taste.

2. 2

   Make Caramelized Onion Sauce

   Once the onions are caramelized, add the beef broth and heavy cream to the skillet. Simmer for another 10 minutes until the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning as needed.

3. 3

   Prepare the Patties

   Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions (about 4 oz each). Form them into patties and season with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill or skillet over high heat.

4. 4

   Cook the Patties

   Place the patties on the grill or skillet and smash them down with a spatula. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.

5. 5

   Assemble the Smashburgers

   Toast the seeded burger buns on the grill or in a toaster. On the bottom half of each bun, place a patty with melted cheese, followed by caramelized onions, dill pickles, and the top half of the bun.
