SMASH BURGERS
Now is not the time to cut calories or skimp on salt. Go for ground chuck that is at least 80/20. If you can find a blend with ground brisket or short rib, all the better. The best burger comes with being liberal with kosher salt-it is beef's best friend. -James Schend, Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin

Steps:
- Place a 9-in. cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, gently shape beef into 4 balls, shaping just enough to keep together (do not compact). , Increase burner temperature to medium-high; add oil. Working in batches, add beef. With a heavy metal spatula, flatten to 1/4- to 1/2-in. thickness; sprinkle each with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook until edges start to brown, about 1-1/2 minutes. Turn burgers and sprinkle with additional 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook until well browned and a thermometer reads at least 160°, 1 minute. Repeat with remaining beef., Serve burgers on buns with toppings as desired.

SMASHBURGER
Steps:
- Make the copycat smash sauce : In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise, mustard, pickle juice, and diced pickles. Set aside until you're ready to assemble your burgers.
- Make the burger seasoning mix: In another small bowl combine the kosher salt, black pepper, and seasoned salt.
- Toast the burger buns: While burgers cook, toast the buns. In a large skillet over medium heat add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the buns, cut side down, and toast for 30 seconds, until golden. Repeat until all buns are toasted. If you have a griddle, you can toast the buns alongside the burgers.

Steps:
- For the smash sauce: Mix together the mayonnaise, gherkins, ketchup, sriracha, mustard, granulated garlic and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Season to taste.
- For the burgers: Heat a large flat-surfaced griddle pan to high heat. Add the vegetable oil.
- Add the balls of meat to the hot griddle and let cook for 15 to 30 seconds. Flip the burgers and, using a trowel or large spatula, smash each ball of meat until about the size of the bun (the overhang is crucial). Smash and schmear down the edges of the beef even further, so that they are a little thinner than the middle. Sprinkle the exposed side with salt, pepper and a little granulated garlic. Cook until super dark and caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes. (The beef will release better when properly caramelized.) Now it's time to scrape the beef and flip, ideally using a griddle scraper or paint scraper to get up every bit of beef. Immediately top each patty with 2 slices American cheese and sear for another 1 to 2 minutes. Spread 1 tablespoon butter on each burger bun and place on the grill. Cook until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Top each bun with a patty, lettuce, tomato and smash sauce. (I like mine plain, with a smash sauce dunk.)
Tips:
- Use high-quality ground beef with a fat content of at least 20%. This will help the burgers stay juicy and flavorful.
- Season the ground beef liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Form the ground beef into thin patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Make sure the patties are uniform in size so that they cook evenly.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add a little oil or cooking spray to prevent the patties from sticking.
- Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare burgers, cook for 2 minutes per side. For medium burgers, cook for 3 minutes per side. For well-done burgers, cook for 4 minutes per side.
- Top the burgers with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
- Serve the burgers immediately on hamburger buns or your favorite bread.
Conclusion:
Smashburgers are a delicious and easy-to-make variation on the classic hamburger. By smashing the patties thin and cooking them quickly over high heat, you can create a burger that is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. With just a few simple tips, you can make perfect smashburgers at home.
