Step 1

Preheat your griddle over medium to medium-low heat.

Step 2

Assemble all of your ingredients and your cooking tools.

Step 3

In addition to the food items, you'll need a large spatula, a melting dome, some parchment paper, a burger smasher (if you have one), and a platter or plate to remove the smashburgers to.

Step 4

While the griddle is heating, butter one side of all the different slices of bread and split the ground beef into two equal parts. Gently shape into a ball. Season the balls with the SPG liberally.

Step 5

Place the balls of beef onto the hot griddle and smash down with a piece of parchment paper and either a burger smasher or the large spatula. You want it thin!

Step 6

While the burgers are cooking, start the grilled cheese on the other side of the griddle. If you need step-by-step on making a grilled cheese, we're in trouble. The difference here is that you'll be smashing them down a bit. If you don't, you won't be able to fit this burger in your mouth.

Step 7

Flip the grilled cheese when they are lightly browned on one side. Cover with a dome while they are cooking to help the cheese melt.

Step 8

When the burger is browned and crusted on the bottom, flip and let the other side brown.

Step 9

Once the burger is done, the grilled cheese should be also. Assemble the burgers by placing one patty on top of a complete grilled cheese, and topping with another grilled cheese.

Step 10

Top with your favorite fixings and enjoy while hot!
