How to cook deliciously - Smash Burgers

1. Stage

Divide beef into 8 (2-oz.) patties. Very loosely form into a ball, making sure to not tightly pack together. 

2. Stage

Heat an ungreased griddle or large cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Working in batches as needed, place patties on hot skillet. Using a large metal spatula or bench scraper, immediately smash patties down as flat and thinly as you can; season with salt and pepper. Cook until edges start to crisp, about 1 minute. Flip, season with salt and pepper, and cook until other side is browned, about 30 seconds.

3. Stage

Top patties with a slice of cheese amd continue to cook until cheese melts, about 20 seconds more. 

4. Stage

Serve double-stacked on hamburger buns with desired toppings.
