Description
A comforting smash burger featuring juicy beef patties, melted cheddar cheese, and flavorful sauce nestled in fluffy brioche buns.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz (340g) ground beef (80/20)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1–2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- Brioche buns
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- Pickles
- Lettuce
- Onion, thinly sliced
- Tomato slices
Instructions
- Divide the ground meat into 3 oz (85g) portions and roll each portion into balls. Place each ball between two pieces of parchment paper.
- Use the flat side of a mallet to flatten them into thin rounds.
- In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, ketchup, mustard, and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Season one side of the meat with salt and black pepper. Place the seasoned side down onto the hot pan and season the other side with salt and pepper.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until a delicious crust forms, then flip. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to a minute and top one of the burger patties with cheese. Place the other patty on top and remove from the pan.
- Toast the buns on the grill for about 30 seconds and transfer them to a plate.
- Spread a spoonful of your sauce on the bottom bun, then layer with lettuce, tomato, and onion.
- Add the double patties on top, followed by pickles, more sauce, and finally the top bun. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
For extra flavor, prepare the sauce a day ahead. Use high-quality ground beef for juicy patties.
