Crispy edges, juicy beef, and melty cheese—this smash burger recipe is your ultimate flavor fix!
– Ground beef – Salt – Black pepper – Cheese slices . – Hamburger buns – Toppings: lettuce tomatoes, onion, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish
– Preheat your griddle or cast iron skillet on high heat—hotter is better for a good sear. Butter the cut sides of your buns and toast them on the griddle.
– Divide your ground beef into 6 equal portions and roll them into balls.
– Place the beef balls on the hot griddle, then use a piece of parchment paper and a burger press (or a spatula) to smash them flat.
– Season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges are crispy.
– Flip, add a slice of cheese, and cook for another minute until the cheese is melted and the burgers are browned.
– Assemble your burgers with your favorite toppings—classic choices like lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles are always great, but feel free to get creative!
