8oz. Classic Smash Cheeseburger Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Patty

   In a bowl, mix the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form into a patty that is slightly larger than the bun, approximately 8 ounces.

2. 2

   Cook the Patty

   Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patty and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a crust forms. Flip the patty and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

3. 3

   Add Cheese

   In the last minute of cooking, place the American cheese slice on top of the patty to melt.

4. 4

   Prepare the Bun

   While the cheese is melting, toast the burger bun on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom bun. Place the lettuce leaf, followed by the tomato slices, and the cheeseburger patty with melted cheese on top. Add pickles, then cover with the top bun.

6. 6

   Serve

   Cut the burger in half if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
