Ultra-Smashed Burgers

ID: a9682ac2...

An extreme version of the classic smashed burger that maximizes the crispy, browned crust by using two thin 2-ounce patties instead of one. The high surface-to-volume ratio creates intense savory flavor while keeping the center juicy with melted American cheese.

Ingredients List

Ground beef chuck (at least 20% fat):4 ounces (divided into two 2-ounce balls)
Soft hamburger bun:1 piece

American cheese:1 slice

Important Notes

⚠️

Use ground beef with at least 20-25% fat content for the best flavor and juiciness.

⚠️

The pan must be extremely hot and not non-stick; the meat needs to stick to the surface to develop the crust.

⚠️

Prepare the bun and toppings before you start cooking, as the patties cook in under two minutes.

⚠️

A razor wallpaper scraper is recommended to get the maximum amount of crust off the pan without leaving flavor behind.
