Ingredients
Scale
For the Smash Burgers:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 4 burger buns
- 4 slices of American cheese
- 1 tbsp butter (for toasting buns)
For the Baconnaise Sauce:
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Baconnaise Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, crumbled bacon, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and lemon juice until well combined. Set aside. - Toast the Buns:
Heat a skillet over medium heat, add butter, and toast the buns until golden brown. - Cook the Smash Burgers:
Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions. Roll each into a loose ball. Place a ball on the skillet, press down firmly with a spatula to flatten it, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until crispy edges form, then flip and top with cheese. Cook for 1-2 minutes more. - Assemble the Burgers:
Spread baconnaise sauce on the bottom bun, place the cheesy burger patty on top, and add additional toppings like lettuce, tomato, or pickles, if desired. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra smoky flavor, use smoked bacon in the sauce.
- Freeze the bacon before chopping to make crumbling easier.
- Serve with crispy fries or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
