1
Prepare Ingredients
Finely chop the onion and set aside. If using whole pickles, slice them into rounds.
2
Make Patties
Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and gently form each into a loose ball. Do not overwork the meat.
3
Cook Patties
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the beef balls in the skillet and smash them down with a spatula to form patties. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side.
4
Add Cheese
Flip the patties and place two slices of American cheese on each patty. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
5
Toast Buns
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the pretzel buns in a separate pan or oven until golden brown.
6
Assemble Burger
Spread remoulade sauce on the bottom half of each pretzel bun. Add the smashed patties with melted cheese, followed by chopped onions and house-made pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
7
Serve
Serve the Smashed Diego burgers with your favorite side.
