Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef. 80/20 , 4 oz balls
- 1 head Iceberg Lettuce , chopped
- 1 med Onion , thinly sliced
- 1 lg Tomato , diced
- ½ cup Diced Pickles
- 6 slices Thick Cut Bacon , cooked and crumbled
- 4 slices Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Fried Onion Strings

Instructions
- Start by heating up a flat top griddle or a heavy pan over high heat.
- Divide the ground beef up into 4 oz loose balls.
- Lightly coat the griddle or pan with cooking oil.
- Place the beef balls on the hot surface and using a heavy spatula or burger press, flatten the balls of beef into thin patties. Tip: Place a piece of parchment pater over the beef ball before pressing to prevent sticking to the spatula.
- Add a generous amount of sliced onion to the top of each burger patty and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook 1-2 minutes until a nice crust forms on the bottom of the patty.
- Flip the patty over and cook another 1-2 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160℉.
- After flipping the burger add a slice of cheese to each patty. If possible, cover the patties to help melt the cheese.
- Assemble the salad by adding the lettuce to a bowl as a base. Top with the diced pickle, diced tomato, and fried onion strings.
- Slice the burger patty lengthwise and place on top of the salad.
- Dress the salad with the homemade burger sauce.
- Now enjoy your Smash Burger Salad!
