Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 6 minutes

Total Time: 16 minutes

Servings: Makes 6 double smash burgers

Equipment:

- A two-burner griddle or cast-iron skillet

- Sturdy spatula for smashing

- Tongs

- Cutting board

- Knife

- Platter for serving

Cooking Tips:

- Ensure your griddle is very hot before cooking.

- Preparing your patties beforehand streamlines the cooking process, especially when serving a crowd.

- Customize your toppings based on personal preference or what you have available.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your griddle to medium-high heat.

2. While the griddle is heating, form the ground game meat into small, thick patties — they will be smashed thin later on.

3. Once the griddle is ready, lightly oil the surface or use a dollop of mayonnaise to prevent sticking. If using mayonnaise, squirt a little onto the griddle before placing each patty.

4. Place the patties on the griddle, not overcrowding the space. Add a small handful of chopped onions on top of each patty.

5. Smash the patties until thin using the spatula. The thinner they are, the crispier the edges will become.

6. Season the smashed patties with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the edges appear cooked.

7. Once the first side is browned and crispy, flip the burgers, add a slice of cheese to each, and cook for approximately 1 minute or until the cheese is melted.

8. While the patties finish cooking, butter your buns and place them face down on a second burner set to low heat to toast.

9. Assemble your burgers with your desired toppings and enjoy hot off the griddle.
