Smash Burgers

I’ve always preferred two thin patties to one thick patty. Thin patties get a better sear and flavor in my opinion. Anyone else like smash burgers?

Looks delish!! The real key is to get them cooked, without over doing it, or having them fall apart. Well (as in nicely) done.

Yum !

Smash burger with a fried egg!

That's why I like Freddy's. I'm like Blank, I have a hard time with them not falling apart or getting too done. That bit of crunch has some really intense flavor. Yours look great.

Looks great!

Looks fantastic man!

I have still never made thin/smash burgers. Always make thick & juicy.

I am going to try.

That looks like Colby Jack Cheese and Checker's Fries, I'm liking those fries.

Yep. Cast iron and a hot fire. Plus you don’t have to waste a bunch of time forming the patties.

Tomorrow is my burger night but not as fancy or yours. Love this beer with mine.

That’s exactly what it is. Good eye.

Looks good!

I've only had a smash burger or two from some burger chain and was not too impressed but boy howdy, based off of those pictures, I think that burger would change my mind!

Freddy's is on my list to try, but I still haven't made it to one yet.

Making smash burgers on my Blackstone is my favorite burger .

I like them Sids Diner style with onions smashed in...

Oh man, now you're talking!

Love smashburgers, that's the only way I make burgers anymore.

We've been cooking them that way since we got a blackstone griddle. They are tasty, best when holes show up when cooking them

yep. thin and charred.

Never had one, but looking at the Oklahoma onion burger. How do you get the patty that thin? Any special method or secret?

You keep it in ball form and literally smash it with a bacon press.

Used to use my heavy bacon press before, it is 5" by 9". Now I have a heavy cast one from Lodge that is 8" round. Does an awesome job!!

I use this one. It's a 10x10 from Blackstone. Works really well.

Those look incredible. My dad used to take me to the 'South End Grocery" in Sherman when i was a kid and we'd eat a double each. I think they were "smash burgers" before "smash burgers" were a thing. They used to sell hundreds to the Texas Instruments employees almost daily for $1 for a hamburger and $1.50 for a cheeseburger. The best "Smash Burger in Midland is Tank's burgers off of Scarbauer Dr. on the east side of town.

Looks great

Makes me want a griddle.

Good job!

Looks very tasty !

That is one tasty looking burger

I'm going to try that onion burger this weekend.

Same here

Post up when you do!

Beautiful

Here are a few cooked on the Blackstone. Jalapeno American Cheese!

Something tells me those burgers tasted incredible.

Those look great! I made smash burgers for the first time last night, and they were a big hit! I used 75/25 venison/chopped bacon and smashed in onions & jalapenos topped with pepper jack cheese. Put two 1/4 lb patties on some buttered up Texas Toast with fries on the side, oooffa. I just ate another one, and making them again tonight.







First time using Bolner's Hamburger Deluxe Seasoning, been looking at it for years but always blew it off. Man, that is some good stuff! Just seasoned with the Hamburger Deluxe seasoning and Worcestershire. Delicious.

Holy excrement!!!!!!!!!!

They all look good, but damn skinner, I'd make you a good wife if I wasn't straight!

Sheet that looks good!

Thank Red . You've kinda got all the wrong plumbing for me, too.

I usually don't press my burgers, but I cooked a drive-through burger bar for Mom's church Sunday and speed was essential. They turned out great. thanks

Man that looks awesome skinnerback

Its all about the char.

Thanks bud. Never smashed a burger in my life, but ain't no stoppin' now LOL. I am really impressed with the Oklahoma style onion burger. Different and delicious. All of my life I've been a fan of thick juicy burgers, seasoned a little and delicious. I wish I would have tried this a long time ago.

Despite them being venison and smashed, with the bacon and onions/jalapenos those patties had a nice crust to them (need to do a little better), but they were still very juicy. Flavor was on point. About to make again.

To be clear, its very regional. They didn't exist in Tulsa. We were very traditional.

I fixed a couple for me and my son. no pics I was in a hurry. I'll do pics next time. I rolled the patties out first with a rolling pin then froze them so they could cook a little longer. Shaved the onion on a mandoline very thin. Got the Blackstone good and hot and cooked on first side 3 1/2 minutes. Got them good and crisp and flipped. Cooked until the onions were translucent and added American cheese. Toasted the buns. They were great. Thanks for the idea.

Sounds awesome!

I used to stop at Ardmore twice a year, but was always so tired from driving I never stopped anywhere to eat. I hear the Oklahoma Onion Burger is big there.

That’s what I’m talking about right there.

First time I had a smash burger was at Herds Burgers in Jacksboro 30 + years ago and they were dayum good, for whatever reason just never thought about doing it at the house, always do the traditional fat & juicy. Will get out the griddle & give it a go

They originated in El Reno and are all over OKC.

Claud's in Tulsa.

or Hanks. Clauds is about 2 miles from where I grew up.

Ran across this video.

I like Smash Burger. That's some kinda bad hair on that guy. Looks like a bad wig. He needs a hair net.
