Smash Burgers

 Picky Eaters Paradise

Hey picky eaters. I'm Owen your fellow picky eater! The other day I was getting a little hungry and was ready to tread new waters. I remember being a kid and loving a good cheeseburger, but they had to be cooked a certain way. Few places in my area could dish out what I was craving, so I decided to try my own. My favorites had always been smash burgers, however, the places I had visited added too much of what I didn't like and didn't incorporate the stuff I did like. So, I tried to make my own version of a smash burger with a simple flair, picky eater style! This recipe is sure to satisfy all people who enjoy a good burger!

Steps:

  • Get ground beef. (80% lean 20% fat)
  • Divide and make into balls. (Around the size of a lemon)
  • Heat a pan on high heat.
  • Drop the ball of meat onto the hot pan. 
  • With a spatula or pan wrapped in tin foil, smash the burgers to a thin patty.
  • Cover one side with salt and pepper. (Only one side needs to be seasoned)
  • Smash once more if the meat shrinks up too thick.
  • Let it cook until the edges begin to brown.
  • Then flip.
  • Thirty seconds later or when the sizzling slows slightly, add a slice of cheese to the top. (Single yellow slices do the trick)
  • Wait for the cheese to melt to the patty and pull it from the pan. 
  • (If you want to go the extra mile you can toast your buns in the grease of the burger to warm and crispy up the buns)
  • Add your condiments of choice.
  • Then enjoy your newest creation.
