Smash Burger Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Caramelize the Onions

   Slice the onion thinly. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the onions and sauté until golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

2. 2

   Prepare the Burger Patties

   Divide the ground beef into two equal portions (about 4 ounces each). Form them into loose balls without packing them too tightly.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the beef balls on the surface. Use a spatula to smash each ball down into a thin patty. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until a nice crust forms, then flip the patties.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

   Immediately after flipping, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   In another skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the brioche buns cut-side down and toast until golden brown.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burgers

   Spread the house-made burger sauce on the bottom bun. Add a layer of shredded lettuce, followed by the tomato slices. Place the two cheese-covered patties on top, then add the caramelized onions. Top with the other half of the bun.
