Cheesy Double Smash Burger

recipe

• Step 1
  Peel & thinly slice the red onions into rings.
• Step 2
  Thinly slice the pickles.
• Step 3
  Add the ground beef to a mixing bowl. Season generously with salt & pepper. Mix with your hands.
• Step 4
  Divide the meat into 2 even portions per serving & form balls using your hands.
• Step 5
  Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the portioned meat & smash each portion into a flat patty using a spatula. Cook for 2-3 min on each side or until the meat is nicely browned.
• Step 6
  Then add a slice of cheddar on one of the patties. Cover it with the second patty & add the second slice of cheddar on top. Cover & cook for 1-2 minutes just until the cheese is melted.
• Step 7
  Meanwhile, in a second hot pan, melt a dab of butter. Toast the cut-side of the burger buns for 15-30 seconds.
• Step 8
  Assemble the burger: spread ketchup & mustard on the bottom bun. Add the burger patties, sliced onion, pickles & lettuce. Enjoy!
