Subj : 9/18 Cheeseburger Day - 5 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Tue Sep 17 2024 11:43:00 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: The Ultimate Smash Cheeseburger Categories: Beef, Cheese, Breads, Vegetables Yield: 1 servings 1 Soft hamburger roll; - buttered, toasted 4 oz (110 g) fresh ground chuck, - in two 2-oz (55 g) balls Salt & fresh ground pepper 1 sl Good melting cheese; - American, cheddar, or - homemade MMMMM-------------------CONDIMENTS & TOPPINGS------------------------ Mayonnaise Mustard Shredded lettuce Sliced onion Tomatoes Pickles Prepare burger bun by laying toppings on bottom half of bun. Have it nearby and ready for when your burger is cooked. Preheat a large stainless steel sauté pan or skillet over high heat for 2 minutes. Place balls of beef in pan and smash down with a stiff metal spatula, using a second spatula to add pressure. Smashed patties should be slightly wider than burger bun. Season generously with salt and pepper and allow to cook until patties are well browned and tops are beginning to turn pale pink/gray in spots, about 45 seconds. Using a bench scraper or the back side of a stiff metal spatula, carefully scrape patties from pan, making sure to get all of the browned bits. Flip patties and immediately place a slice of cheese over 1 patty, then stack the second directly on top. Immediately remove from pan and transfer to waiting burger bun. Serve. By J.
