1️⃣ Prepare the Beef
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal balls.
Do not press them yet; keeping them loose helps make juicy burgers.
2️⃣ Heat the Pan
Place a cast iron skillet or griddle on high heat.
Add a little oil and let the pan get very hot.
3️⃣ Smash the Burgers
Place one beef ball onto the hot skillet.
Using a spatula, press it down firmly to flatten it into a thin patty.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Cook for about 2 minutes until the edges become crispy.
4️⃣ Add Onions and Cheese
Flip the burger.
Add sliced onions on top and place a slice of cheese over the patty.
Cook another 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts.
5️⃣ Toast the Buns
Spread a little butter on the burger buns.
Toast them in the pan for 1 minute until lightly golden.
6️⃣ Assemble the Burger
Place the burger patty on the toasted bun.
Add your favorite toppings like pickles, lettuce, tomato, or sauce.
Close the bun.
7️⃣ Serve
Serve the burgers hot and juicy with French fries or onion rings.
✅ Serving Tips
- Add a special burger sauce (mayonnaise + ketchup + mustard).
