Double Smash Cheeseburger

Ingredients

• 20 oz 96/4 lean ground beef (Divide into 6 balls of about 3.33 oz each)
• Sea salt (A pinch for the patties and a pinch for the onions)
• Black pepper (A pinch for the patties)
• 6 Light American cheese slices (One slice for each patty; the on-screen text specifies 2%)
• 150 g Yellow onion (Finely sliced)
• Beef bone broth (A splash)
• Avocado oil spray (For cooking the onions and buns; amount not specified)
• 3 Light brioche buns
• 96 g Light burger sauce (Secret sauce; 16 g for each bottom and top half of the three burgers. Sauce ingredients not provided)

Steps

1. 1

   Finely slice the yellow onion.

2. 2

   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, about 7 out of 10. Add the onions, cover, and cook for 5–7 minutes, until softened and beginning to brown.

3. 3

   Add a pinch of salt and a splash of beef bone broth. Cook until the onions are caramelized.

4. 4

   Divide the ground beef into 6 equal balls, about 3.33 oz each.

5. 5

   Heat the same skillet again over medium-high heat, about 7 out of 10. Working in batches of two, place the beef balls in the skillet and immediately smash them as thin as possible.

6. 6

   Season the patties with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes, until a crust forms.

7. 7

   Flip the patties and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining beef.

8. 8

   Place one slice of light American cheese on one patty for each burger. When the cheese has melted, stack the second patty on top and remove from the skillet.

9. 9

   Spread 16 g of sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Add the double patties with cheese, the caramelized onions, another 16 g of sauce, and the top half of the bun.

10. 10

    Repeat the assembly for the second hamburger. The source mentions three buns but describes only two assemblies; it does not specify how to use the third.

11. 11

    Place the assembled burgers in the skillet and press them down. Flip them when golden and repeat on the other side. Serve.

Notes

The sauce recipe is said to be available in the comments, but it is not included in the provided source; the ingredients are not specified. The instructions mention assembling two hamburgers, while the ingredient list includes three buns. The amounts described as “a pinch,” “a splash,” and oil spray remain unquantified.
