Crispy and flavourful patties, loaded up with all the toppings, slathered with homemade burger sauce, what could be a better Friday night dinner? You can pick and choose what toppings you like on it so it’s perfect for the whole family’s tastes! Plus it takes less than half an hour to make so I like to make a couple of sides to go with it and have a proper feast. 😋 When the burger patty is smashed down on the flat top the fat from the mince seeps back up into the burger, so you are basically cooking the burger in its juices. This makes for an extra flavourful burger!
🥣 Equipment
Parchment Paper – This is to stop the burger press from sticking to the burger, allowing it to keep its shape. Burger Press – These are relatively easy to find in the BBQ section of your larger supermarkets. This is the burger smasher I use (affiliate link). Burger Dome/Cloche – Once you place the cheese on top of the smash burger, place the burger dome on top to trap the steam in and melt the cheese evenly. You can also find these in the BBQ section of larger supermarkets. This is the cloche I use (affiliate link – I think this one is only available in the UK, but it’s a 20cm diameter stainless steel cloche).
📋 Ingredients
Minced (ground) beef – Use finely ground beef with 20% fat, for a juicy burger with a crispy edge. It’s important not to go below 20% fat as the burger would be less juicy. Burger Cheese – I used regular burger cheese, but you can use your favourite type of cheese. Also, I used a Burger Dome/Cloche to melt the cheese evenly. Burger Sauce – I used a homemade burger sauce with only 3 ingredients, but you can use any store-bought sauce you like. Melt the cheese on top and serve with all the fixings! Juicy, crispy, packed, and full of flavour, my mouth is watering from writing this! 😆 A burger feast on a Friday night is just what any family needs after a long week!
A large dollop of this Simple Burger Sauce is just perfect for this dish. Serve it in a Brioche Burger Bun, super buttery and light, they soak up the burger juices perfectly! As for sides, these go amazingly for a Friday night feast: Homemade Air Fryer Chips Onion Rings Easy 4 Cheese Mac ‘n’ Cheese
