Equipment
- 1 Charcoal Grill
- 1 Heat-resistant gloves
- 1 charcoal
- 1 2 Heavy Duty Spatulas (one for for smashing and one for pressing and flipping)
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. 80 / 20 ground beef here is my recipe
- American cheese slices
- 1 pack burger buns
- Kinder’s seasoning “The Blend”
- Cooked thick-cut bacon
- Sauce Ingredients
- 1 part Ketchup
- 3/4 part Mayo
- 1/4 part Mustard
- 1/4 part Brazilian Hot Sauce from Amazon
Instructions
- Get the cast iron skillet piping hot close to 500° F or hotter.
- Get the 2.5 oz per each burger, then smash the burger balls to a thin patty.
- Add the Kinder’s seasoning to the top of the patty.
- After about 2 minutes flip the patty.
- Add more Kinder’s seasoning, and the American cheese slice.
- Place on a plate and add to oven under the “Keep Warm” setting.
- Thick-cut bacon to the burger 2 per each patty.
- Grill the buns they only take 10 seconds to cook.
Notes
- I found this works better on the charcoal grill since electric grills don’t get hot enough. The hotter the better. I get a charcoal grill up to about 500° F.
- The secret to a good burger is to start by forming it into a ball and smashing into the hot grill.
- I use Kraft brand American cheese. American cheese has the best melting ability no other cheese comes close!
- Brioche buns are in my opinion the best we also like to use potato buns.
