Dave's Double Copycat Burger

Directions

1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat.
2. Divide the beef into 8 loose 113g portions. Avoid overworking the meat.
3. Lightly oil the cooking surface, if desired.
4. Place the beef portions onto the hot griddle and let them sit for 10–15 seconds.
5. Season with salt, then smash each portion firmly into a thin, square patty, leaving the edges rough for maximum crispiness.
6. Cook for 60–90 seconds, or until a deep crust forms and the edges become crispy.
7. Flip the patties, lightly season the second side, and top each patty with a slice of American cheese.
8. Stack the patties into doubles while they finish cooking. For an extra melty finish, add a small splash of water to the griddle and cover with a dome.
9. Lightly toast the burger buns on the griddle.
10. Spread ketchup and mayonnaise on the bottom bun, then add a double cheeseburger stack.
11. Top with pickle slices, sliced white onion, tomato, and shredded lettuce.
12. Finish with the top bun, give it a light press, and serve immediately.
