Ingredients for Smashing Patty:
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend recommended for juiciness)
- Salt and pepper to season
- Burger buns of your choice
- Sliced cheese (optional)
Ingredients for Confidential Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon finely chopped pickles or relish
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
- INSTRUCTIONS:
- 1st Step – In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, chopped pickles or relish, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- 2nd Step – Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning according to your preference. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- 3rd Step – Divide the ground beef into equal portions based on the number of burgers you wish to make. Form each portion into a ball.
- 4th Step – Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. While the skillet heats up, place a portion of ground beef on the cooking surface.
- 5th Step – Using a spatula or burger press, firmly smash down on the ball of ground beef to create a thin patty. Season the top of the patty with salt and pepper.
- 6th Step – Cook the patty for about 2-3 minutes on the first side until it develops a nice crust. Avoid pressing down on the patty during cooking to retain juices.
- 7th Step – Flip the patty and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Add a slice of cheese on top if using and let it melt slightly.
- 8th Step – Toast the burger buns lightly on the skillet or grill for added flavor and texture. Spread a generous amount of the Confidential Sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
- 9th Step – Place the cooked smashing patty (with or without cheese) on top of the sauce. Add any desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onions, or pickles. Top with the other half of the bun and press down gently to hold everything together.
- 10th Step – Serve the Smashing Patty with Confidential Sauce burgers hot and fresh from the skillet or grill. Pair with your favorite sides like crispy fries, onion rings, or a fresh salad for a complete meal experience.
- 11th Step – Enjoy the juicy, flavorful patty complemented by the zesty and creamy Confidential Sauce, creating a burger sensation that’s sure to impress!
