🍔🔥 Double Smash Burger with Crispy Onions & Melty Cheese 🧀🥩
Two juicy, crusty smash patties layered with perfectly melted American cheese, smoky grilled onions, and stacked on a soft sesame bun. Smash-style with flavor that hits HARD. 💣🤤
📌 Ingredients:
For the Patties:
½ lb (225g) ground beef (80/20 blend for max juiciness)
Salt & pepper to taste
For the Crispy Onions:
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp oil
Pinch of salt
For the Build:
4 slices American cheese
2 sesame seed burger buns
Butter for toasting buns
Optional: pickles, mustard, or burger sauce
🔥 Instructions:
Crispy Onions:
1️⃣ Heat butter and oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
2️⃣ Add diced onions, season with salt, and cook until dark and crispy (not just caramelized — we want that char). Set aside.
Smash Patties:
1️⃣ Divide beef into 4 equal loose balls (don’t pack tight).
2️⃣ Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle until screaming hot.
3️⃣ Add beef balls, smash them flat with a spatula (use parchment paper if needed), and season with salt & pepper.
4️⃣ Cook 2-3 minutes until a crust forms, then flip.
5️⃣ Immediately top each patty with a slice of cheese. Let it melt while the second side finishes.
Toast the Buns:
1️⃣ Butter the buns and toast them in the same pan until golden brown.
Assemble:
1️⃣ Bottom bun → cheesy patty → crispy onions → another cheesy patty → top bun.
2️⃣ Optional: Add pickles or your fave burger sauce for that final hit.
🍔 Serve & Devour!
Wrap it in parchment for that burger joint look or go straight in. This one’s napkin-worthy. 💥🔥
