Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Ground Beef 80/20
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Cracked Pepper
  • 8 slices American Cheese
  • 4 pieces Hamburger Buns
  • 1 cup Shredded Lettuce
  • 2 pieces Sliced Tomatoes
  • ½ cup Pickles
  • 1 small Onion
  • ½ cup Smash Burger Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Add the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder to a bowl. Mix until combined, then portion into 8 two-ounce balls.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet or flat top grill over high heat until very hot.
  • Place the beef balls onto the hot surface and smash them flat, sprinkling with salt and pepper as you do. Allow to cook until the edges brown, about 45-60 seconds.
  • Flip each patty, season again lightly, and place a slice of cheese on top. Let the cheese melt while the burgers finish cooking.
  • After cooking, stack two patties together to form four double burgers.
  • Remove the double patties from the heat and place them on the toasted buns. Top with your choice of lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, and sauce.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use 80/20 ground beef for juiciness.
  • Ensure the cooking surface is hot for a good crust.
  • Toast your buns for added flavor.
