Method

Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions (about 4 ounces each) and shape them into balls. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place two beef balls on the surface, and using a spatula, smash them down into thin patties. Cook for about 3 minutes until browned.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Flip the patties and immediately place two slices of American cheese on top of each patty. Cook for another 2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread a tablespoon of secret sauce on the bottom half of each sesame bun. Layer with shredded lettuce, the double cheeseburger patties, pickles, and the top half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve with Crispy Potatoes

    Serve the smashburger with crispy potatoes on the side.
