A lighter take on a classic smash burger, with double-stacked beef patties, melted American cheese, pickles, onion, and burger sauce wrapped in crisp iceberg lettuce.
Ingredients
- 900 g 80/20 beef mince
- 8 slices American cheese
- 8 large iceberg lettuce leaves
- 16 dill pickle slices
- 1 small white onion, finely diced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Neutral oil, as needed
- 120 g mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- Yellow mustard, to taste
- Pickle juice, to taste
Directions
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat.
- Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, and pickle juice together to make the burger sauce. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Divide the beef mince into 8 loose balls, approximately 115 g each. Avoid overworking the meat.
- Separate the iceberg lettuce leaves, then wash and dry them thoroughly.
- Lightly oil the griddle if needed. Add the beef balls and let them cook briefly before seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Smash the beef firmly into thin patties and cook until a deep crust forms.
- Flip the patties and top each with a slice of American cheese. Continue cooking until the beef is cooked through and the cheese is melted. Use a splash of water and a dome to help melt the cheese, if desired.
- Stack the patties into four double cheeseburgers and remove them from the griddle.
- To assemble, overlap two iceberg lettuce leaves for each burger. Add a double cheeseburger, burger sauce, diced onion, and pickle slices.
- Fold the lettuce around the fillings, gently press everything together, and serve immediately.
