Stumbles Smash Recipe

Caramelize the Onions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Slice the onions and add them to the skillet. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Cook the Beef Patties

While the onions are caramelizing, divide the ground beef into four equal portions and form into patties. Season with salt and pepper. In another skillet or grill, cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Place a slice of American cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assemble the Smash

Toast the burger buns lightly. On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, a beef patty with melted cheese, caramelized onions, pickles, and a generous drizzle of 1000 Island dressing. Top with the other half of the bun.

Serve

Serve immediately with your favorite side, such as fries or chips.
