Smash Burgers

Smash Burgers

Here I present my Smash Burgers; a recipe for the easiest homemade hamburger – ever!  its crispy and delicious and seriously rivals any restaurant burger you’ve had.

This is a recipe I come back to time and time again.  It’s the base for some many burger recipes.  I personally love making a double cheeseburger with just ketchup and mustard.

King of burgers

Sometimes I do lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, pickles and mayo… inspired by you guessed it, the whopper which is my guilty pleasure!

My kids have discovered Big Macs so they go with a double burger with cheese, lettuce and pickles… we do:

Thousand Island Dressing

As a cheater sauce!

The heat does the work 

I personally love the simplicity of this recipe because the heat does the work for you.  Leaving the patty to crisp up gives you a world of flavour.

This is how I make Smash Burgers

To make the beef patties I simply roll the meat into the size of golf balls. 

                 

Then I place the balls into the very hot pan and immediately flatten them, as thin as I can get them (I use a strong spatula).

The patties get seasoned liberally with salt and pepper.    

I flip the burgers after 2-3 minutes, when there’s a yummy darkened crust; the I season this second side with salt and pepper also.

The patties then cook for anther 2 minutes on medium-high.

I transfer the cooked patties to a plate and cover them with a bowl until all the patties are cooked.    

Then I top with my favourite condiments!   I went super simple with ketchup and mustard.

Yum!
