For best results, ensure your griddle is screaming hot before smashing the burgers. This creates the coveted crispy edges. Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheese varieties. Pepper jack, cheddar, or even a creamy provolone can add unique flavors. Consider adding a touch of garlic powder or onion powder to the ground beef for enhanced flavor. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Grill and Griddle: Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Lightly oil the grate. Place a cast iron flat-top griddle or large cast iron skillet on the grill and preheat until smoking. (Approximately 10 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Toast the Buns: Spread butter on the inside of the buns. Toast on the flat-top until lightly browned. Set aside. (Approximately 2-3 minutes per side)
03 Step
Recipe View Smash the Patties: Divide the ground beef into 8 loosely-packed balls, approximately 2 ounces each. Do not overwork the meat. Place each ball on the hot flat-top, cover with a piece of parchment paper, and immediately smash down to a 1/4-inch thickness using two sturdy spatulas. Sprinkle generously with salt.
04 Step
Recipe View Grill and Stack: Grill for about 45 seconds, until the edges are dark brown and the centers are a light pink color. Using a bench scraper or firm spatula, scrape up the patties and flip. Immediately cover 4 patties with cheese. Grill for an additional 15 to 20 seconds. Stack the plain patties over the cheese-covered patties to create 4 stacks.
05 Step
Recipe View Assemble and Serve: Move each burger stack to a toasted bun. Add your favorite toppings and serve immediately.
