Feed 4 for $20 Smash Burgers

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. Drizzle vegetable oil onto the griddle. Place the portioned ground beef balls directly onto the griddle top, top each portion with parchment paper then smash using a large spatula or burger press.

2. 2

   Season the burgers heavily with salt and pepper. Cook the burgers for two minutes without flipping. The edges should be crisp and lacy. Flip the burgers then immediately top with a slice of American cheese.

3. 3

   Melt the cheese by covering the patties with a basting dome for 1 minute. Once the cheese is melted, use a spatula to remove the burgers from the griddle and set them on a plate.

4. 4

   Build the burgers to your preference using the buns, sauce, lettuce, and pickles.
