Griddle 101: Smashburgers on a New Blackstone
|
Smash Burgers! Hello Friends, I just picked up a new Blackstone at Walmart for only $299, and I’m putting it through its paces by cooking the most popular griddle meals on it. So far, it’s been solid—heats evenly, no issues, and putting out some great food. First up: Smash Burgers with caramelized onions and bacon. These turned out really well other than I could have gotten my griddle hotter. I had it around 460 but should have waited for it to get closser to 500. One trick I learned in this cook that really was fantastic is a little brown sugar in the onions. If you've never done it I would highly reccomend. I've done it on these burgers and on some smothered chicken now. Both meals turned out great and I will be making them again. The chicken video will be out soon, it also has bacon and cheese on it. I'm pretty sure I could cover a flip flop with bacon, onions and cheese and it would be delicous. If you’re new to smash burgers, here are the 3 key things you NEED to do: 🔥 Start with 2.5 oz burger balls – This size is perfect for getting that classic smash burger crust without being too thick. A 1/4th measuring cup is a good way to get the perfect size, or you can just cut 1 lb of ground beef into six equal parts. Pair these with crispy bacon and those sweet, caramelized onions, and you’ve got a burger your family will love. I paired mine with some cheeseballs because I'm just a classy fella like that.
