Smash Burgers Recipe

canola oil

potato burger buns

unsalted butter (softened)

ground beef blend

Kosher salt

black pepper

American cheese

Favorite toppings and condiments

Brush

Brush a 12-inch cast iron or stainless steel skillet with oil and set it over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. While the skillet heats, form ¼ pound beef into very loose 2-inch thick patties. The meat should barely hold its shape. Generously season one side of the patty with salt &amp; pepper.

Butter

Butter the inside on the buns and place (buttered-side down) on the hot skillet. Cook just until the buns are nicely toasted (watch closely). Set the buns aside.

Heat

Increase the heat under the skillet to medium-high and heat the skillet an additional 1 minute.

Sear

Set two patties, seasoned-side down, on opposite sides in the skillet and firmly press down on them until they are about 4-4½-inches wide and ½-inch thick. Season the top-side of the burgers with salt &amp; pepper.

Cook

Cook the patties, undisturbed, until the outer edges are dark caramel brown.

Melt

Flip the burgers and cook 1 minute. Add cheese and cook until desired doneness, about 1 more minute for medium-well. (If you like a medium-rare burger, add the cheese right after flipping the burger and cook just 1 minute.)

Repeat

Set the cooked burgers, cheese side up, on a paper towel-lined plate and repeat the cooking process with the remaining burger patties.

Garnish

Place the burgers on the buns and add your favorite condiments and toppings.

Enjoy
