1
Prepare the Patties
Divide the brisket meat into 2-3 oz portions and form into loose balls. Season with salt and black pepper.
2
Cook the Patties
Heat a cast iron skillet or grill over high heat. Place the meat balls on the skillet, and using a spatula, smash them down into flat patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned, then flip.
3
Add Cheese
Immediately place a slice of American cheese on each patty after flipping. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.
4
Prepare the Buns
While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns on a separate skillet until golden brown.
5
Assemble the Burger
Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with lettuce, sliced tomato, pickles, and sweet onions. Place the top half of the bun over the toppings.
6
Serve
Serve the smash burgers with your choice of sides and hushpuppies.
