Smash Burger

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • The secret to an incredible smash burger starts with the beef. Opt for 80/20 ground beef—80% lean meat and 20% fat—to ensure a juicy flavorful patty. The fat content is essential for achieving that crispy yet tender texture.
  • Simplicity is key. Season your patties with just kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the natural beefy flavor.
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 4 strips crispy bacon finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon pickle juice or lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Spreading the Baconnaise Sauce
  • Generously spread the smoky baconnaise sauce on both the top and bottom buns.
  • Step 2: Stacking the Patties
  • Double up the patties for an extra indulgent burger.
  • The melted cheese acts as the perfect glue to hold them together.
  • Step 3: Adding Toppings
  • Keep it classic with pickles, onions, lettuce, and tomato.
  • Avoid excessive toppings—let the beef and sauce be the stars.
