Title: The Ultimate Smash Cheeseburger
Categories: Beef, Cheese, Breads, Vegetables
Yield: 1 Servings
1 Soft hamburger roll;
- buttered, toasted
4 oz Fresh ground chuck (110 g),
- in 2 balls
Salt & fresh ground pepper
1 sl Good melting cheese;
- American, cheddar, or
- homemade
MMMMM-------------------CONDIMENTS & TOPPINGS------------------------
Mayonnaise
Mustard
Lettuce; shredded
Onion; sliced
Tomatoes
Pickles
Prepare burger bun by laying toppings on bottom half of bun. Have
it nearby and ready for when your burger is cooked.
Preheat a large stainless steel saute pan or skillet over high heat
for 2 minutes. Place balls of beef in pan and smash down with a
stiff metal spatula, using a second spatula to add pressure.
Smashed patties should be slightly wider than burger bun.
Season generously with salt and pepper and allow to cook until
patties are well browned and tops are beginning to turn pale
pink/gray in spots, about 45 seconds. Using a bench scraper or the
back side of a stiff metal spatula, carefully scrape patties from
pan, making sure to get all of the browned bits.
Flip patties and immediately place a slice of cheese over 1 patty,
then stack the second directly on top. Immediately remove from pan
and transfer to waiting burger bun. Serve.
