Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb Ground Beef or Bison
  • 4 Brioche Buns
  • 8 Velveeta Cheese Slices
  • 4 tbsp Cream Cheese
  • 1/4 cup White Onion sliced
  • 2 Jalapenos diced and seeds removed
  • 4 tbsp Chipotle Aioli Spread
  • 8 tsp Yellow Mustard
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • Canola Oil

Instructions

  1. Turn on the grill and set all the burners to medium heat.
  2. While your grill heats up, take the ground beef and form balls of meat with your hands. Each ball should be about 2 oz. Season with salt and pepper on all sides.
  3. Add a small amount of oil to the griddle and toast each of the flat sides of the hamburger bun for about 2 minutes or until lightly toasted. You can also use a little margarine for this.
  4. Once the buns are toasted, remove from the grill and add a tablespoon of cream cheese to the top half of the bun and a tablespoon of chipotle aioli to the bottom half.
  5. Add a handful of diced jalapenos to the side of the bun with the cream cheese. Set aside the assembled buns.
  6. Add the ground beef balls to the hot griddle and leave enough space between them for smashing. Using a burger press and a piece of parchment paper, smash each patty down.
  7. Add the sliced onions to the griddle in between the beef patties and let them cook down.
  8. Cook for about a minute and then squirt about a teaspoon of yellow mustard onto each patty then flip the burger over. This is what gives you a delicious crust along the edges.
  9. After another minute, add the slices of cheese to each patty and close the grill lid so the cheese gets melty. About a minute.
  10. While the burgers are still on the grill, stack two patties placing onions on top of the burger between each patty.
  11. Using a metal spatula remove the patties from the grill and place them onto the prepped buns.

Notes

This recipe is for double smash burgers. You can also make them as singles but you will need more buns. This will make 6-8 single smash burgers depending on how big you make your patties.
