Notes
CHEF JENN’S TIPS
-
- If the Smash Burgers are sticking to the grill, they’re not ready to flip. Try giving them another 30 seconds of grilling.
- Cook some bacon on the side and turn these into Bacon Smash Burgers.
- Use an 80/20 blend of ground beef, so you get edges that are crispy and full of flavor!
- Use parchment paper to keep the raw patties from sticking to the press while cooking.
- Smash Burgers should have 2 patties on them.
