  • 1 tsp Organic Pickle Juice

Instructions

  • Prepare the Burger Mixture:
    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, bell pepper, onion, garlic, celery leaves, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, and pickle juice. Mix everything together until well combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat to keep it juicy.

  • Form the Burger Balls:
    Divide the meat mixture into small balls, about 2 to 3 inches in diameter (this makes for nice thick burgers). Set them aside.
  • Smash the Patties:
    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a small amount of tallow to coat the pan. Place each ball of meat onto the skillet, then smash it down quickly with a burger press or the bottom of a plate until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. The key is to smash them quickly so they sear well!

  • Cook the Patties:
    Cook the patties for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until a crispy crust forms and the center reaches your desired doneness. Be sure to flip only once!
  • Toast the Buns:
    While the burgers are cooking, toast your buns in the skillet or oven until lightly golden. This adds a nice crunch to your burger
    1 pkg Organic Burger Buns
  • Melt the Cheese:
    During the final minute of cooking, add your cheese on top of the patties and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
  • Assemble Your Smash Burger:
    Place the cooked patties on the toasted buns and add your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, and sauces like ketchup or mustard.

For a balanced meal, add a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh salad. These burgers are juicy and full of flavor, so they don’t need a lot of extra condiments. Enjoy!
