Ground chuck is a great all-purpose, buy-it-anywhere choice for burgers. But if you want to get ambitious and blend, say, chuck with ground short rib or brisket, we say go for it.

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

Vegetable oil (for pan)
1 pound ground beef chuck (20% fat)
Kosher salt
4 slices American cheese
4 potato rolls, toasted
Ketchup, mayonnaise, shredded iceberg lettuce, and dill pickle slices (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat a cast-iron griddle or large heavy skillet over medium-high until very hot, about 2 minutes, then lightly brush with vegetable oil. Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions (do not form patties).
  • Working in batches if needed, place portions on griddle and smash flat with a spatula to form 4"-diameter patties (craggy edges are your friend). Season liberally with salt and cook, undisturbed, until outer edges are brown, about 2 minutes. Flip patties, season with salt, and place a slice of cheese on top of each patty. Cook until cheese droops and burgers are medium-rare, about 1 minute.
  • Serve patties on rolls with ketchup, mayonnaise, lettuce, and pickles.

These burgers were a disappointment. The meat was dry and the sauce was bland.

These burgers were a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll try smashing them thinner next time.

Not the best smash burgers I've had, but they were still pretty good. The meat was a bit dry, but the sauce helped.

These burgers were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of smash burgers, but these were pretty good. I liked the crispy edges and the cheese was melted perfectly.

The sauce is what really makes these burgers. It's so flavorful and pairs perfectly with the beef.

Not bad for a quick weeknight meal. The burgers were a bit dry, but the sauce helped. I think I'll try adding some extra cheese next time.

Easy to make and delicious! I used a cast iron skillet and the burgers cooked evenly. The cheese melted perfectly and the sauce added a nice flavor.
