Smash Burgers
This is probably the easiest recipe I will ever post! Smash burgers are so easy to make – they require minimal ingredients and little time to make. Smashing them thin on a hot pan lets the meat get nice and crispy, giving you that classic smash burger taste. Use whatever ground meat you prefer – an 80/20 ground beef will give you the perfect fat ratio.
I topped mine with some homemade burger sauce, lettuce, tomato, crispy onions, and white cheddar and served them on a toasted gluten free Schar burger bun.

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Roll your ground beef into 3 oz balls and let chill in the fridge before cooking.
- While the beef is getting cold, prep all of your toppings, including the burger sauce!
- Heat your cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. You will know it is hot enough if you drop water on it and it “dances around” instead of sizzling.
- Place the balls of meat down on the skillet and press down with a large metal spatula, getting the patty as thin as possible – this allows the patty to cook quickly and for bits of meat to caramelize!
- Season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes before flipping. Cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
- Serve with your favorite toppings!
