this is one of our favorite it's called
the smash burger
a lot of you have heard of it some of
you that haven't you got to check
this one out if you like burgers
this will definitely be on your list
i mean is there anything better than a
good old-fashioned
greasy spoon burger
grilled with butter oh man

and it's all about smashing it down
you got to check this out
[Music]
barbecuepitboys.com today we're grilling
up the smash burger at the pit
and it's real easy to do all right for
the smash burger you're going to need
some seasoning like our spg
some ground chuck beef here's some bacon
you're going to need some cheese
then you're gonna need a bun that's it
so
first thing we're gonna do is fry up the
bacon
and we're using a grill top like a cast
iron grill top
that's the only way you can do a smash
burger
you don't grill it over a open flame
nope it won't work you need the classic
cast iron or grill top just like that
all right so next we're going to
season the burgers and of course we're
going to use our spg
at the least use some salt and pepper or
whatever and just work it in there
simple enough and of course we're using
ground chuck for best
taste and flavor and we want plenty of
fat so this is about
uh 85 lean to fat at least
now you must make your burger patties
precisely at 2.5 ounces
each and there's a reason for that you
don't want your burgers
too big and fat for this you want a
quick
fry so we make each patty about
two and a half ounces perfect
all right bacon's coming along whoo
can you smell that it smells good
and i think the neighbors can too such
is life
all right bacon's done
and we'll just pull it off the uh flat
top here
perfect perfect oh man
you getting hungry or what and if you're
not
you're on the wrong damn channel all
right next
we're going to do the burgers but you
need some butter fat
this is essential to these burgers
butter fat
sweet and salty butter fat and that'll
give you
the exact texture that you're looking
for for your smash burger
so we're going to take these uh little
two and a half ounces of meatballs we
made
simple and a pretty hot grill
and now here's the magic
we're gonna smash them smash them down
hard
right now we're using our uh
john deere meat press here but use what
you like
all right pretty simple if you don't
have a meat press just
uh use a uh another pan
and just smash it down just like that
lord have mercy that sound
is kick well it just don't get any
better than that right
now if you're a burger of christiano i
think
uh you know what i'm talking about
in fact some claim the best burgers are
made
on a grill top like this simple all
right
so now we're going to flip them
we're getting the uh texture we want
a little bit salty
[Music]
are you kidding me listen to that
music to your ears right it's beginning
to look like a smash burger
all right now the cheese you need
to use the classic american
cheddar sliced cheese don't use a fancy
ass
cheese it won't work it must be this
cheddar cheese so you cheese heads just
don't lose it
this is the way you need to do it now
the cheese is melted and now we're gonna
do some stacking
one on top of the other perfect
we're gonna be eating good tonight
martha whoa
are you kidding
now we can use our santa maria just
adjust the uh
wheel bring it up cool it down perfect
makes for an easy grill right all right
these smash burgers are
done well almost now we got to set them
up so again use a decent roll
you want a pretty looking roll but if
you don't
like i said before some good old white
bread
classic all right look at that
man now you could set these up with the
condiments you like
or you don't need any condiments or you
can just use chup
whatever uh we're gonna use hey
we're gonna kick up some chop by um
adding a little mayo to it and i know
some of you out there oh yeah it was a
good one until you put the mayo on it
man we got food cops everywhere
and we're also going to hit it with some
sriracha
just kick it up a bit right like i said
this here is pit master privilege you do
what you want
but this works real fine when you smash
burgers
now here's the good part
[Music]
you kidding me
one at a time
it's like poetry
look at that
now we're gonna take the bacon and stack
some on top
[Music]
i guess we could go a lot faster on this
edit but no
i'm sorry no this is this is the way we
got to do it
oh look at that
now put on the top
[Music]
this is ready for a five-star restaurant
without paying the price either
