Smashburgers Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and gently shape them into balls. Do not compress them too much.

2. 2

   Heat the Grill or Pan

   Preheat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until hot.

3. 3

   Smash the Patties

   Place the beef balls onto the hot surface and immediately smash them down with a spatula to about 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Cook the Burgers

   Cook for about 2-3 minutes until a crust forms on the bottom. Flip the patties, add a slice of cheese on top, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   While the burgers are cooking, butter the insides of the burger buns and toast them on the skillet until golden brown.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burgers

   Place the cooked patties on the bottom half of the toasted buns, top with pickles, onion, ketchup, and mustard. Add the top bun and serve immediately.
