Make the Burgers

  1. mix ground beef with salt and pepper and form into 4 balls.

  2. Butter the buns and toast them on your skillet or griddle until golden.

  3. Prep the toppings.

  4. Cut a small piece of parchment paper that you’ll use on top of the burgers to prevent sticking.

  5. Heat a cast iron skillet or flat griddle until it’s very hot; place a few of the burgers on the hot surface. Sprinkle them with a big pinch of salt and let them sit and sizzle for about 20 seconds. 

  6. Place the parchment paper on top of each burger and then, using a heavy, flat tool, press the burgers down as flat as you can get them in one swift motion. They’ll be super sizzly and splattery, but they should make a nice, round, thin smash burger shape on the griddle. Cook for a few minutes and then flip and top with cheese right away. Leave them undisturbed for another 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.

Assemble Burgers

  1. Spread top and bottom buns with burger sauce, place a burger, and top with desired toppings.

  2. Serve with fries and enjoy!
