Bbq Smash Burgers
Ingredients:
- ยฝ teaspoon salt
- ยฝ teaspoon black pepper
- ยฝ teaspoon garlic powder
- ยฝ teaspoon onion powder
- ยผ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 24 ounces ground beef (80/20 preferred)
- 8 strips bacon
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 small onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ยผ cup BBQ sauce, plus more for serving
- 8 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 pretzel buns or buns of choice
Instructions:
1. Make seasoning mix: Mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika in a small bowl.
2. Portion the beef: Divide the ground beef into 3-ounce portions and roll each into a ball. You should have 8 balls total.
3. Cook the bacon: Heat your flat-top grill to medium. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
4. Caramelize the onions: Add the butter to the grill and let it melt. Toss in the sliced onions to coat them in butter. Season with about a quarter of the seasoning mixture. Toss frequently with a spatula until they wilt and start to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
5. Prep for smashing: Turn the heat up to high and grease the flat-top with the oil. Season the top of each meat ball with some of the seasoning mixture.
6. Smash and cook: Place the balls seasoned-side down on the grill. Using parchment paper and a weight, smash each ball as thin as possible, focusing on the edges. Season the top side after smashing. Cook until the meat looks a bit holey and browned around the edges, about 2 minutes.
7. Flip and top: Use a scraper to flip each patty. Brush the cooked side with BBQ sauce, then quickly add a slice of cheese. Cook until the cheese melts, about 2 more minutes.
8. Assemble the burgers: Spread BBQ sauce on the bottom of each bun. Stack two burger patties on each bun, then top with caramelized onions, bacon, and more BBQ sauce if you like.
