Smashburgers

Ingredients

  • 1 lb 80/20 ground beef
  • 4-6 Hamburger buns I like Potato Buns
  • 1 tsp Salt and pepper
  • 4 slices American Cheese You can use other cheese but American just feels right

Instructions

  • Weigh out beef into 2.5-3 ounces and ball them up loosely, you don’t want to pack the beef too tight.
  • Place them back in the fridge while you preheat the griddle.
  • Heat Griddle to 450 degrees or above. Add small amount of oil.
  • Toast the buns, because these will not take long so you want your buns done first.
  • Place down burger balls about 4 inches apart. Smash them as thin as possible using either two spatulas or a burger press. You can use parchment paper so the beef doesn't stick to the press or spatulas.
  • Salt and pepper the smashed beef.
  • If there are holes that's ok, cook them for 2 minutes then flip.
  • Add the cheese and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Plate burgers on a bun and enjoy!
