Smashburgers

 

Smash burgers 

Ingredients

For the burgers:

• 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt more to taste
• ½ teaspoon cracked pepper more to taste
• 8 slices American cheese see notes

For assembly:

• 4 hamburger buns toasted with butter
• Shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, pickles, onion
• Smash burger sauce  
• recipe Below

Instructions

To make the burgers:

• Add the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder to a bowl and work it together with your hands to distribute the seasoning throughout the meat.
• Portion the meat into 8 balls, 2 ounces each.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet or flat top grill over high heat. You want this to be very, very hot before cooking the burgers. If you’re cooking on a flat top grill, you should be able to cook all the burgers at once, working quickly so as not to overcook the burgers. If you’re cooking in a skillet, you’ll need to make these in batches of 1-2 burgers each.
  
• Add the balls of beef to the skillet or grill and then immediately smash each one with a burger press or two large spatulas. The burgers should be smashed very thin, a bit larger in diameter than your hamburger buns as they will shrink as they cook.
  
• Sprinkle the flattened burgers with salt and pepper.
• Let the burgers cook until the edges are browned and the tops are turning more of a gray-ish color, 45-60 seconds.
• Flip the burgers, season again with salt and pepper, and immediately place the cheese on each burger, working quickly. Immediately stack 4 of the burgers on top of the other 4 burgers, making 4 double patties.
  
• Remove from the grill and place the burgers on the toasted buns and top with your choice of toppings. Serve immediately.

Notes

We prefer American cheese because of the way it melts, but you can use any type of sliced cheese that you prefer.

For the buns, we prefer cheaper store brand buns or potato buns to something like a brioche bun. These are more of a simple burger than a gourmet burger and we want the beef to shine through, which can be hard with larger, more flavorful buns.

When pressing the burgers, we use a piece of wax paper between the burger patty
