Feed 4 for $20 Smash Burgers

Directions

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