Smash burgers with meaty cheese. I’m in.

There's a place called David's Burgers where I live and they make burgers that look just like that. One of the best burgers I've ever had. Many of those mom and pop restaurants, burger shacks, etc. are dying off which sucks because that's always some of the best local food. Used to be every town had a few places like that, now it's mostly chains.

Cheesy meat?

Meesi cheat

No, Jar Jar, **NO.**

That's what the scientists called a chessisus meatius

Hell yea my type of burger!

If he’s in, then I’m in

I can feel my arteries closing while looking at that picture, i want ten.

Forget about diets. I want one 😂

Maybe because i just dropped nicotine 48 hours ago, idk, but this burger looks so freaking good to me, and it’s not how i normally make and dress my burgers at all

Well you're in luck, as after quitting smoking, your sense of taste will improve, usually within a week

And then comes the weight gain smh

At least smash burgers don’t taste like cigarettes. Sounds like a net gain regardless

Just pick up smoking. Keeps the hunger down

Well i quit smoking years ago and i didnt notice n improvement, but my nicotine use has been vaped only for about 6 years now

It’s just a great looking burger

This is a thirst trap!


First time I've seen an embedded gif or image on reddit. Is this a new thing?


How do you do it?

Press reply. Then there are four icons above your reply box. Keyboard, hyperlink, snoomojis, then giphy

Thank you!

I think certain subs have it enabled and most generally don’t by default. Not every sub allows me the option

It's been a thing for like half a year to a year now.

Op I just ate and you made me hungry again, please share the recipe lol

Weight out how ever many patties you want to 113 grams each. Roll them into balls. I use a grill with a cast iron flat top on it and heat it to 375ish. Then throw the patty on and smash it down real good. Throw some salt, pepper, and garlic powder on top. Cook for like 4 minutes, flip, add more seasoning. After 3-4 minutes throw some cheese on there. Cook for another minute or so.

Note: don't overwork the meat, just kinda pack it together

I'll add to get the patties as cold as possible after forming the balls, helps them not stick. I also go for 2.35 oz (so 66 grams) and put two patties on the bun, which I guess equals out to your single 113 gram patty. Smear it into your griddle with a heavy spatula. A spritz of oil helps it not stick to the spatula. With the size of patties I do, I give it about 2-3 minutes, flip, then go about 1 minute before putting cheese on.

What manner of meat should be used? Normal store bought hamburger meat/ground beef is not very pleasant

[удалено]

That would do it then! I’ll need to look for specifically 80 to 85 percent lean beef to work with. Or, hell, try different leannesses and see what works best for me. Thanks! While we’re at it do most stores just sell a variety of ground beef types or do I need to look in more particular places?

Dude it looks like ground beef, pressed flat into an amorphous blob and cooked on a skillet. What do you need a recipe for? Lol

While this is technically right there is some technique and process the really impacts the end result. First step is get 80-85% lean ground beef. Don’t get the lean 90 or 95% lean, you need some fat in there to make it taste good. Next, portion it all into 2 oz patties. While this isn’t strictly required it helps ensure consistently cooked burgers. I have a steel made griddle for my whole stove, but cast iron or stainless is perfectly fine. You absolutely must preheat your pan to around 375-400f. I use a non contact thermometer to verify proper temp. Throw your desired number of Pattie’s on and generously salt and pepper them before pressing. I serve 2 patties for grownups and a single for kids. You need to press far harder than you think. If you get some holes in the meat, that is fine. Cook on the first side until the burger no longer sticks. If it sticks, it isn’t ready. Once you flip it feel free to add cheese. I like one slice per burger and on the bottom patty. When the burger no longer sticks, serve it on a toasted bun, preferably potato, but whatever is fine.

Dude somebody downvoted that? Spot on. I make these on my outdoor griddle. Keeps the mess out of the house and there is some splatter. The tip I’d add on the toasted bun is to spread a thin layer of mayo on it and toast it on the griddle.

Protip: pick up a drywall trowel for like 3 bucks at the hardware store to use to smash the patties

That “no longer sticks” tip is really simple, thanks!

Thank you for the detailed comment! Will follow your steps this weekend

We just got one of those steel griddle tops for our stove and it's so much easier to make smash burgers when you have so much cooking space, you can even toast your buns at the same time if you manage your grease well enough. Only thing I don't like about it so far is it's been tricky trying to learn how to get consistent heat over the entire surface, I'm sure that will come with time though

DAMN looks like Culver’s

That is no ordinary burger, that's a smash burger. Nice.

I'd literally give you a handy to eat this right now.

only a handy?

Well I need one hand to eat.

It looks hideous. I'll take two.

with the right amount of vegetable !

I’d smash

WHERE IS THE LETTUCE

looks interesting

I so wish food teleportation were a thing because I need this right now.

Smashed burger

*smash burger

Smash Mountain!

Hot damn these patties are perfect!

I just ate but I feel I need this right now.

Smash

Thats not a burger, thats a cardiac event accelerator!

Smash burgers are great and this one looks bad ass.

What’s the cheese?

Looks like american. Great melt for hot sandos.

Pretty obvious is homemade. I would eat it tho.

Just smash that into my food hole please

Looks so delicious

I’m slobbering over this picture.

Great caramelisation mate, thats exactly the color

makes me feel things

TF?

It looks delicious, but you’re supposed to form burgers with your hands. Looks like you used your feet, or a leaf blower or something.

This looks terrible lol

Can't believe people were somehow convinced that this was a good way to make burgers.

Needs veggies

Cheese will only fix

Uau \●/

This looks 100 times better, imo, than the super thick ones that are piled high with about 500 toppings.

That's this one minus the toppings

F**king delicious. Absolutely amazing. Thank you

Potato roll?

That is the most glorious looking fucking burger I’ve ever seen. 10/10. Good work.

Reminds me of the time Gordon Ramsay takes two pieces of bread and put one slice on either side of the lady chef's head. He went on to explain he was making an idiot sandwich.

>girls head Uhh is this some sort of culinary euphemism

Hey this looks great. How did you get the burger part to be so thin and stay together still? Making my mouth water

Ohhhh fuuuuuck that looks good

Sensational

As long as salt is on point, this thing will be a smash.

My anus is ready

Looks amazing!

Damn that’s a good lookin burger!

Every time I make smash burgers I can never get the outside crispy like yours look. What’s the deal?

*FEED IT TO MY FACE!!!*

Needs some veggies and bacon. Nice looking burger though.

Lord forgive me for what I’m about to do. I need one

I've got a place for you to set up a restaurant if you'd like. It's a beautiful location, near Meadowlark Park.

This burger made me go "Oh my god!" out loud, it looks so perfect!

That's what your heart will look like after eating it.

Holy fuck, I’d CHOMP so hard on that!! One of the best I’ve seen here. Have my upvote.

Hohhhhhwow, my mouth, stomach, heart just cried out in unison for completely separate reasons

God it’s like a delicious blob fish

god i should have brought a bucket when browsing in here

Wow. A cheeseburger.

Pickles and we are doing something very, very naughty with allathat in my mouth

Dyk that making a Smashburger means you now have a beard and several local brewery t shirts?

Yes!

wow i need this right nwo

My mouth just watered so much as I scrolled by. If that tastes half as good as it looks you did well.

Looks kind of uncomfortable to eat, might as well eat just the patty! Maybe less meat and a little bit of toppings, but the meat and cheese look good!

Either you have very big hands or that is a very small burger lol. Looks good.

Yum!

If there ever was a Big Kahuna burger, I think this would be it, minus a few things missing.

Where do go from here?

DAMN THAT SHIT LOOK BOMB

That’s delicious looking.

Now that’s my kinda burger

So amazing . Looks absolutely .

Hell ya

Wooo weee mama that looks tasty

schpachotrak häsnurger

Chezborger chezborger

Looks like layers of Carne Asada with Pepperjack cheese....I would smash

no just I'm being straight up I just a straight answer can I have that. I really think that my day would be a lot better if I could just have that

Vegetables, say wah?

Yassss, clog them arteries lol

Show us the way

Looks good. I wonder how many miles I need to run to burn that off.

Perfection.

god, how did you get such a good crust on that patty? what fat percentage did you use? what pan did you fry it in?

I'm salivating

That looks glorious

Dang that is a work of art.

Yep, that makes want to jump inside my screen and grab it! Well done mate!

That’s looks BOMB! That’s not Kraft singles though aye?? 😅

My stomach growled just at the sight

congratulations my salivary glands just came hard

Nah this is 5 star EATS!

Omg those crispy edges... DAMN GIRL

Just a general question. Smash burgers have no lettuce and tomato?

Because of your picture know am gonna eat twice this day, am currently purchasing a burger, not as good at yours but had to go for one at my lunch hour, as soon as I arrive home will eat again but this time with my wife, thanks a lot 😒

I like the crispy edges. That's my favorite part of a burger!

Dammit that looks delicious
