How to make Smash burgers 🍔

We make burgers every once in a while and they were ok, but we found a new way to make burgers that are super good. They are called smash burgers. Smash burgers are also thinner and browner than normal burgers. They are tasty.

Ingredients:

Here is a list of the ingredients you need for smash burgers:

• Ground beef
• Cheese
• Buns
• Tomatoes
• Lettuce
• Avocado
• Salt and pepper
• Spatula
• Smasher

Here are the steps to follow to make smash burgers.

Step 1. Form your patties

When you make smash burgers you want the patties pretty small. We use 3oz patties but you can go as small as 2oz. Make them kind of thick. Don't worry if they look small you are going to smash them which will make them bigger.

Step 2. Set up the cooking area

You can use something as simple as a pan, but we use a baking steel, which we put on our grill. The key is to get the surface very hot. Cooking smash burgers is very fast so be sure to have all your ingredients ready, and don't forget to smash the patties.

Step 3. Toast your buns

Remember how I said you have to have everything ready? Well, part of that is toasting your buns.

Step 4. Place meat on the grill and season with salt and pepper

Step 5. Wait 1 minute then Smash!

You want to wait 1 minute to let it cook a little bit. Then put paper on the burger and smash it as hard as you can. The paper keeps the burger clean. Once you have smashed it, it should look super squished.

Step 6. Scrape then flip 'em

When you smash the burgers they get stuck to the surface, so you have to scrape them off before you flip them.

Step 7. Season and smash again!

Now you've got to do the same thing on this side. Add salt and pepper, then smash again.

Step 6. Add cheese

If you like cheese as much as me then you will add them to the patties right now after both smashes.

Step 7. Stack

After about 20 seconds you'll want to scrape the patties and put them on the burgers. This is how you make a double burger, which is how I like them. If you just like a single like my sister then don't stack them.

Step 8. Serve

Put the patties on the bun and add any toppings you like. I don't add any, but my mom and dad like tomatoes, avocadoes, and lettuce.

Step 9. CHOW DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
