Blackstone Smash Burgers
My favorite type of burger is a smashed burger or thin burger. Whatever you like to call it. They fit on the bun nicely and the toppings are easy to put on and they STAY on.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoon butter
- 2 cups thinly sliced onions
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 lb lean ground beef 93%
- 4 slices Sharp Cheddar Cheese Slices
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 hamburger buns
Instructions
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to high heat.
- On one side of the griddle add the olive oil and butter, and let it heat for about a minute.
- Add the onions to the griddle, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Use a spatula to toss the onions frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Continue cooking the onions on the griddle for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are soft and caramelized to your liking.
- Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and form into balls.
- Season each ball with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Place a ball onto the griddle and smash it down with a spatula until it's about ¼ inch thick.
- Repeat with the remaining balls and leave them on the griddle for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to brown and the burgers release from the griddle.
- Flip each burger and add a slice of American cheese on top.
- Let the cheese melt for about 30 seconds.
- While the cheese is melting, butter the brioche buns and place them on the griddle until they are toasted.
- Assemble the burgers with the buns and your desired condiments.
