This recipe for a Smashburger with Garlic Butter will make your tastebuds sing! If you’re looking for an easy, delicious meal to make on the griddle, this is it!

Ingredients

Ground beef (70/30 fat content)
4 TBS of butter
1 1/2 TBS minced garlic
Burger seasoning: 1/3 G-Que BBQ the Rub, 1/3 kosher salt, 1/3 course ground pepper
Hamburger buns
Sliced American cheese

Instructions

Loosely roll the ground beef into 3 oz meatballs.
Heat up your griddle on high, but leave 1 side off so it only gets residual heat.
Place the butter on the relatively cool side of the griddle.
Add the minced garlic to the butter, working with a spatula.
Once the butter is lightly browned & the garlic is well incorporated into the melted butter, crank up the cool side of the griddle to high & coat the entire griddle in the garlic butter.
Using a basting brush, brush the insides of the hamburger buns with the garlic butter & lay butter-side-down on the griddle.
Place the meatballs on the griddle. They should make an audible sizzle.
Place a small square of parchment paper between your spatula & the meat to prevent the meat from sticking to the spatula, then smash the meatballs down until they form thin patties.
Season the patties to taste with the burger seasoning.
When the patties are browned after 1-2 minutes, flip them & top with sliced American cheese.
Once the cheese has melted & the patties are cooked on both sides, assemble your burgers with 2 patties per bun & whatever toppings you’d like.
