I appreciate the adjustments you made to the recipe for people at home: pre-smashing, food processer vs meat grinder, kraft singles vs fancier cheese. I see a lot of other channels that don't make these adjustments and the recipes seem too hard to make because they involve a lot of appliances I don't have or processes that are overly time-consuming. While it can be entertaining to watch people take extraordinary measures to prepare the perfect food, I like that your method is down to earth but still has a great result.

You are a very dedicated chef and incredibly thoughtful in the reasons you are giving. I have tried to do smashed burgers with mixed success at home, and your idea of pre-smashing is both simple and very solid. Love the recipes, keep it up

Made these last night and can confirm this is how I will make burgers from now on. So incredibly flavorful and delicious! Really appreciate all your efforts to help us non-cooks feel like we know what we’re doing.

Alrighty, this is the first smash burger recipe that has convinced me to try grinding my own burger meat. I never wanted to buy that one grinder attachment. But a food processor I do have! Can't wait to try this! Thank you. Love following your channel. :)

I made this tonight and must say that this is another great recipe! Everyone loved them.

I made this yesterday and it was by far the best burger I have ever made. It really took my burger game from poor to advanced in a single day. I did it on the side burner of my bbq and I was happy that all the smoke and crackling grease were outside. Thanks for making this content!

Thank you buddy, for always managing to add "how to" advice when you don't have all the appropriate appliances to perform tasks. It gives me so much confidence to continue!

We just made these and they are AMAZING! Best burgers we ever made. The short rib flavor is great, they are amazingly juicy and the condiment is killer. Oh, we made one batch of burgers with our meat grinder and the other with our food processor...food processor method won hands down! Thanks, Brian!

I made these today with chicken as I don't eat beef... The sauce is amazing... The patty cooked so fast, it took me around 5 minutes to cook the burger.. LOVE IT... Cheap, tasty, quick and way way better than those flour coated chicken sandwich 🤤Thank you!!!!

Very appreciative of all the hard work that goes into these videos. Nicely done!

Made these last night and they hit on so many levels. They had a familiar fast food burger taste (in a good way) but we're so much better quality. I ground in a ribeye that I needed to use as well as the ribs. Sauce is flat out amazing, and I was asked to make burgers again this weekend, which holy crap, burgers twice in one week never happens.

Love a good smash burger! Can’t wait to try. Hope you keep these up. Compared to a lot of other channels you’re making food I actually want to cook - and have! Made the dinner rolls, chicken parm, apple cider doughnuts, and pub pizza. All turned out great! The chicken parm was hands down my wife’s favorite thing I’ve ever made her.

Oh. My. GOOODDDDD I'm a big smashburger style fan and this was BY FAR the most flavorful burger I've ever had. I just used a fatty chuck roast steak for the beef and prepared it the same way as instructed and it was amazing. My wife didn't believe that it was only salt and pepper used to season it because it was just that good and melt in your mouth. Will definitely be making these every time I make burgers now

I live in an apartment with no exterior routed stove vent. All of the smoke from cooking stays in the apartment except during the winter when it's cold and the hot air rushes out of the open sliding door. Smashing the burger before putting it onto the pan helps SO much!

I coincidentally made some smash burgers almost identical to yours after reading a review in “the New Yorker. Then later I saw your video by coincidence. The review was about burger place in Brooklyn that considered their version an upscale Big Mac. So I tried mine and it was pretty darn good, but I picked up some good tips from your video. For my “special sauce”, I used a classic old southern version of thousand island sauce which is a jacked up version known to us as “come back sauce”…the usual suspects of ketchup and Mayo, but Chile sauce, woostershire sauce, cayenne, garlic etc.. I like the use of the sriracha and will try that next time I make a come back sauce. Nice job!

One other thing with the pre-smashing is that it means you have a bit more control over the shape of it...if you're cooking in a pan, they can be difficult to get out if you don't know it. On a griddle or flat top, that's when you do it on the surface

oh man ! this is the burger brought to another level, oh ! Thank you Brian !

I used beetroot burgers and combined the sauce from this recipe and made the onion burger. So Damn good. Thanks Bri

This is one of the best things I've ever made, I am so addicted to this now

I agree with you ☝️

That burger sauce is very customizeable, and pairs well with other foods, too! I do 3 parts japanese mayo (different consistency/flavor to regular mayo, notably has a slight dill flavor) to 2 parts ketchup and a few cranks of freshly ground black pepper as the main base and add in a lil this and that depending on my mood. I don't have a blender but there are plenty of spices, salts, and sauces that can kick up the flavor. Goya is an easy one. Msg gives it an inherent mouth-watering quality - highly recommend. White pepper can boost the flavor complexity. Sriracha of course. Honey, any kind of mustard, brown sauce, mirin, worcester sauce, soy sauce - maybe not all at once, but all things ive tried adding in different quantities and combinations that turned out great. It's a lot of fun to experiment and come up with your own "special sauce".

This looks so simple and delicious. I enjoy making home made burgers. I do have to have that thin sliced next level tomato inside there too though I love the contrast in flavours and juiciness it brings.

I'd love to try this recipe of smash burgers, looks good and juicy, just perfect!

i won my wife back with a smash burger. they're that good. as a beginner, definitely pre smash. you'll get a feel for the perfect smash as you go. and the imperfections are apart of the process. the idea is to manifest the fast paced line cook vibe. like you've been doing it for ten years.

A happy medium for the minced meat is to get your local butcher to freshly mince it. Better texture when the beef is noodle like IMO, and the beef won't lose it's texture or flavor for up to a day, so long as you properly cling film it. Plus, supporting local businesses over chains is always a bonus.

Made these for dinner tonight for my wife and I, and I ate two of them myself. Banger!

Just remember. After you start to making your own sauces you can´t find any good sauces anywhere. You have to at least "pimp" those sauces somehowe or thay won´t have enough flavor. Same thing whit marinades and basicly in all cooking. Only lack of your imaginery can stop or slow you down. These days i have to admit that my foods are even better than what my mom cooks and she´s made food longer that i´ve existed.

I really enjoy your videos, the point about the using the food processor was excellent, to may waste time money on a crappy meat grinder they use once. The pre smash was also an excellent idea one i have never seen before anywhere or thought of myself, much safer with a gentle push to insure proper crust. If i may suggest something i think you would like german frikadellen, ideal for lunch, supper, packed lunches and picnic. Take care, God bless one and all A tip for the onions in frikadellen that my Oma taught me was to coarse grate the onions then blanch them for 30 seconds, also using a medium rye bread adds to the "authentic" flavour.

This was super tasty!!

These smash burgers look amazing. Will definitely be giving them a try with that burger sauce. Just for kicks, you might want to try putting onions on top of your first burger and let them cook there and then give them a flip. They get really carnalized that way. Thanks for the great recipe

I like the presmashing. I think the one thing missing is the paper thin tapered edges. That could still be done though.

That's one incredible looking burger mmmmm.

We had to try, first off we did the buns & made the burger sauce. However we decided to use store bought Yves burgers to make ours. Brian is right, once you try the sauce you will not want to go back to average. We used to when grilling toast the buns on BBQ or in the house put them in toaster, I much prefer the idea of just toasting the inside! Thank you for sharing the bun idea & sauce.
