Instructions

1. 01

   Preheat your griddle over medium-high heat until it's hot.

   Divide the ground beef into portions, about 1/4 pound each. Roll each portion into a loose ball

3. 03

   Season one side of each ball with salt and pepper.

4. 04

5. 05

   Use a sturdy spatula or a burger press to firmly smash the beef ball down onto the griddle. Press down until the patty is thin, about 1/4 inch thick. This smashing process helps create a crispy crust.

8. 08

   Flip the patty using the spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

9. 09

   If desired, place a slice of American cheese on top of the patty during the last minute of cooking and allow it to melt

10. 10

    Remove the patty from the griddle and let it rest for a minute.

11. 11

    Repeat the process with the remaining portions of ground beef

12. 12

    While the patties are resting, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the griddle.

13. 13

    Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of each bun and adding your preferred condiments and toppings

14. 14

    Place the top half of the bun on the assembled burger.
