Step 1

Form the burgers into 8 equally-sized balls.

Step 2

Preheat your Blackstone over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Cook bacon until it reaches your desired level of crispiness.

Step 4

Place the burger balls onto the preheated grill, and immediately smash down with a burger smasher, bacon press, or heavy-duty spatula. Use a piece of parchment paper to make removing the spatula easier.

Step 5

Season the top side of the burger with some OWYD Smoky SPG.

Step 6

Cook for several minutes until a dark-brown crust forms and then flip. Season the cooked side of the burger.

Step 7

Top with cheese, cover with a melting lid (if necessary), and cook another couple of minutes until the bottom has formed the crust.

Step 8

Remove from the flat top and serve hot!
