1
Prepare the Special Sauce
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
2
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and slice the tomato and onion. Set aside with lettuce and pickles.
3
Cook the Burgers
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Form ground beef into 4 equal patties, season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, adding a slice of American cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking.
4
Toast the Buns
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
5
Assemble the Burgers
Spread a generous amount of special sauce on the bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese. Layer with tomato slices, pickles, and onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
6
Serve
Serve the smash burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
