    Title: The Ultimate Smash Cheeseburger
    Categories: Beef, Cheese, Breads, Vegetables
    Yield: 1 servings

    1 Soft hamburger roll;
    - buttered, toasted
    4 oz (110 g) fresh ground chuck,
    - in two 2-oz (55 g) balls
    Salt & fresh ground pepper
    1 sl Good melting cheese;
    - American, cheddar, or
    - homemade

    MMMMM-------------------CONDIMENTS & TOPPINGS------------------------
    Mayonnaise
    Mustard
    Shredded lettuce
    Sliced onion
    Tomatoes
    Pickles

    Prepare burger bun by laying toppings on bottom half of
    bun. Have it nearby and ready for when your burger is
    cooked.

    Preheat a large stainless steel sauté pan or skillet
    over high heat for 2 minutes. Place balls of beef in pan
    and smash down with a stiff metal spatula, using a
    second spatula to add pressure. Smashed patties should
    be slightly wider than burger bun.

    Season generously with salt and pepper and allow to cook
    until patties are well browned and tops are beginning to
    turn pale pink/gray in spots, about 45 seconds. Using a
    bench scraper or the back side of a stiff metal spatula,
    carefully scrape patties from pan, making sure to get
    all of the browned bits.

    Flip patties and immediately place a slice of cheese
    over 1 patty, then stack the second directly on top.
    Immediately remove from pan and transfer to waiting
    burger bun. Serve.
