Smashburger Ingredients
Method
Smashburger Directions
Prepare the Beef Patties
Divide the ground beef into two equal portions, about 8 ounces each. Gently form them into loose balls, being careful not to compact the meat too much.
Smash the Patties
Place the beef balls on the hot griddle. Using a heavy spatula or a burger press, smash the meat down into a thin patty. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until a crust forms.
Season and Flip
Season the patties with salt and pepper. Carefully flip them over and place a slice of cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Toast the Buns
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the griddle until golden brown.
Serve
Serve the smashburger immediately while hot with your favorite sides.
