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.
