The ULTIMATE Homemade Smashburgers! | Backyard Test Kitchen

[@rollydoucet8909]

Quick Tip: Place a piece of wax paper on the meatball/patty before 'smashing' to prevent the meat from sticking to the spatula. Use the same piece of wax paper for all burgers. BTW, great video.

[@rong9758]

Smashburgers are way thinner than that and that is what gives them the crispy greatness.

[@wallfly0131]

Keep it up girl, I can see this channel going off the charts because of your vibrant personality. 👍

[@RLeeErmy]

Cooking these on the blackstone tonight. Can't wait! Had to add another comment...... Loved seeing the family at the end!

[@ditryn]

Instead of the the Ghee, step it up with Wagyu Beef Tallow~ Mind Blown.

[@DavePruett]

Looks like a delicious riff on a classic Oklahoma Onion Burger. Yum!

[@andrewgeddes8904]

A trick to get your onions real thin and crispy... Use the cheese slice side on a cheese grater. Then peel the top layer of the onion and start slicing it whole. Once all of them are sliced, squeeze all the onion juice out (this will kill your eyes, but a crucial step). We make these all the time and this will give you the best results. Love your channel! That smoked butter prime rib recipe is money! We cook it for every big holiday and everyone loves it

[@kylemontague980]

One suggestion would be get an actual burger smasher - so you can smash them thinner - and use parchment paper in between the smasher (or spatula) and the patty ball so the patty doesn’t stick to the smasher/spatula. Fellow Utahn here, ftr. Way to represent! Well done, Susie!

[@nicholasrooksby3327]

Smash burgers, That’s what I am talking about.

[@ixlzz]

Just this morning my wife had a Blackstone griddle shipped to us using her Amazon points. I assembled it and came in to check my KZbin subscriptions and......here we are!! She is making the sauce as I type this: dinner should be great. Thanks for a most timely video.

[@Heygrillhey]

Let me know how you like them!

[@Patrick94GSR]

Almost 6 months of several times weekly use of our Blackstone. Absolutely love that thing!

[@FFL-vg9ro]

The onions prevented the bottom of the burger from caramelizing, which is the delicious signature of the smash burger. I’d rather caramelize the onions separately under a bacon press, and have the burgers crispy on both sides.

[@scottb4767]

Everyone's here for your burgers...I'm here because of your buns!

[@captaingerbil1234]

11:07 She says it herself

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Oh shoot I’m in the middle of eating all my smash burgers that I made and ran across your video and just seen your comment to take a photo when you are out cooking your smash burgers and post!! Well I guess I should have watched the video before making them and then I could have gotten a shot of me cooking my very first smash burgers up!! They were definitely nice and tender, juicy, and had a nice little crunch to them!! I’d definitely have to say by far one of my best burgers ever made for sure!!

[@stevebooth4136]

Smash burgers are always a hit at my house with the grandkids

[@kevinbongard6772]

Get some 5 inch egg rings.....throw down some shredded cheddar.....then top that with mac & cheese some hatch chiles, a couple strips of bacon and top off the smash burgers ....you won't be sorry Great video as always !!

[@albundy5228]

There's no crust...me thinks the onions could've waited until the end

[@HeidisHereAndThere]

Exactly, she steamed them and didn't smash the patty for 10 seconds.

[@youngzeus87]

Yeah she don't know what the fukk she is doing. Should've just made an Oklahoma onion burger and did meat down first to get the crust. Then smash the onions on the other side to get the caramelized onions crust. This is goofy. Thumbs down

[@danielmata9355]

There’s no crust. Don’t think she cooked the burgers long enough(probably why they didn’t zoom in) this is NOT how to make smash burgers.

[@devinthomas4866]

4 pretty lucky boys right there!!

[@lukecho9225]

Ok tons of smash burger videos on KZbin, but best part of your video is your family eating the burgers at the end. Your boys are super cute

[@BRTardiff]

I really enjoy your videos, cooking skills and your love of family. So, I say this with the utmost respect... Although I’m sure they tasted phenomenal, I wouldn’t consider what you’ve done here to be a smash burger. Try a smaller ball, re-chill it after forming, let it sit on the griddle for a few seconds and then smash it without the onions under it.

[@darrinwaselich583]

I enjoy watching you grill. Thanks for sharing. I will be making these. You website is great too. My birthday is coming up, and I told my wife to order anything off your site. Thanks again. D

[@Siraphyn]

Looks great, but you should pickle your onions in some white or red wine vinegar, salt & pepper. Cut them thinner, no grilling, and that's all you will need. Try it!

[@dkeele]

Love seeing the Camp Chef FTG900 getting a workout in your backyard. Another great video, keep them coming!

[@adityabiyani387]

great one i must say

[@garywilliams267]

Grew up in a family restaurant as well and have those burger memories too...thank you!

[@chadbutler3277]

Yum my family loved them!!!

[@EnergizerTX]

Pro tip, before flipping or removing patty, scrape under it to release the crunchy goodness instead of leaving it behind to scrape and discard at the end....

[@sister_num7516]

Made for dinner with our home raised smoked bacon .... amazing!!

[@thunderbeast2126]

I think I found my new favorite bbq channel

[@Heygrillhey]

Thank you so much!!!

[@cleanritepressurecleaning4076]

I spray the bottom of the spatula with Pam, smash thinner and flip the burger on to the grilled onions. Great video.

[@kred792]

I use a chef's press instead of a spatula since I can leave it on the top as a weight and keep the burgers from fluffing back up

[@gogogo4732]

Looks delicious 😋 love the BBQ JUNK YARD 😂😂😂

[@Kobamas]

need to try this😊

[@Transporterdouble48zero]

I love burgers , well KZbin just recommend just absolutely perfect channel for me. Cheers from Sabah Malaysia 🇲🇾😊⭐️👍🏻

[@4wolverines]

Looks great. Squeeze bottle with water to squeeze on the hot grill & that grill will scrape off pretty easy.

[@marcuswelby2644]

Press each burger for 10 seconds. As someone mentioned below- grill onions on the side. Flip burgers when juice starts bleeding up through the burgers.

[@tjp1451]

Looks great and all, but what’s the reasoning for putting the patties right on the onions like that? Seems like it’s really messing up the sear and looks to be more trouble than it’s worth.

[@JbrosCooking]

Looks amazing 😋

[@Heygrillhey]

Thank you 😋

[@brewz1000]

Man, Todd has the hardest job in the world! You make those amazing burgers, then just take your time taking a few bites and telling how great they are. I'm dying just watching, I can't imagine what he goes through!!

[@JensHove]

And this was his lucky day, don't forget.

[@jenshjlund6488]

Awesome vid guys!!!! Y'all have soo much fun and the ending is what it's all about...sharing with loved ones!!!

[@garyK.45ACP]

Use parchment paper on the burger balls, or spray the "smasher" with PAM. Then the burgers don't stick to the "smasher". I use an actual, purpose built, "burger smasher"😁

[@M_A_Double_T]

those look Amazing!!! so I guess its time to buy a griddle..

[@030604lill]

Looks delicious! I tend to agree with the no less than 15% fat but if I’m being honest, I just did some with 90/10 but I used some bacon grease to fry em up. Came out perfect and had that signature crispy crust. Had me surprised they turned out so well.

[@001SapoBBQ]

You're an inspiration!!! I learned a bunch from your video. You are very easy to follow. Smash burgers soon on my menu. Thanks for the awesome video!!! Subscribed 👍🇺🇲

Perfect cheeseburger 🍔 love it 😍🍔

[@grilltopgoods2071]

love me a smash burger.

[@photoboothx7810]

This is more an Oklahoma burger not classic smash. They were also waaaaay too thick but Yh each to their own.

[@chriswalls5831]

I'm ready to eat looks yummy

[@chrisryan8863]

Hi. I love your channel. I have been watching for the last year and it is really inspiring me to cook more. I don't have a full grittle grill but I did buy a portable griddle that I can put down on my gas grill or kettle grill and make smash burgers. They have become one of my families favorite grilling meals I make (and that says a lot given how much grilling and bbq I have made). Your burgers looked awesome. I make some of my own rubs but I think I will buy your beef rub you used. Blessings to you!

[@SmokedReb]

Thanks for sharing! Do you have a desired thickness for your smashburgers?

[@banksta3]

Thinner than these.

[@patrickschardt7724]

These look fantastic. I usually make a burger consisting of a little brown sugar, cumin, thyme, salt, pepper, paprika, a hint of sage, garlic, some crushed red pepper, and a hint of chili powder. I modify the recipe based the type of burger I’m making. I add them directly into the meat with an egg, mix everything, and then make the patties. I’ll have to the onion trick and sauce Pro tip: Get yourself a significant other that loves you the way she loves food

[@garybnkr]

Hey Susie, Hey, do you have any other flat-top grill recipes? I just got my first one after seeing your Smash Burger KZbin. I also have a smoker and a gas grill. My wife and I really enjoy your videos. Thanks.

[@arturocabral8232]

Could you use Kerry gold butter instead? Thanks for the video will try these soon on my new grill grates!

[@kred792]

you can use any butter but the clarified butter is usually preferred by cooks because it has a higher smoke point than regular butter, so you avoid "burning" your butter when you cook on medium-high heat

[@danielmoore4756]

You can't make a proper smashburger with the onions underneath them. Get a Blackstone burger making kit, then watch videos of making smashburgers with desired crust on both sides of the patty.

[@TAPratt1]

First thought I had when seeing this. Can’t get a nice sear and crust on the burgers. I do the onions separate.

[@Sloeberjong]

Putting the onions under the smashburger kinda defeats the point of a smash burger. Smash burgers are made to maximize the maillard effect and you don't get it with the onions underneath. To be fair, the burgers do look supertasty and they can do whatever you want while bbqing but still, I'd call these rustic regular burgers and not smashburgers.

[@chrissaunders535]

George Motz would beg to differ

[@floydhammond1461]

@@Sloeberjong First job in 1973 was working a flat top in a small diner. These are too thick for a true diner smashburger. Thin and a nice crust is a must. You can cook your burgers however you like but simply smashing a ball of meat with a spatula doesn't make it Smashburger.

[@Patrick94GSR]

Floyd Hammond I usually do about 2.5 to 3 oz burger balls with 80/20 ground beef. I also have a HUGE wide Blackstone spatula that covers the entire patty when smashing. I love it!

[@jesseedwards4323]

Do you think I could use beef tallow instead of butter?

For sure!

[@quincee3376]

[@marcpatterson8553]

[@WYO-FAM]

I have made these in the kitchen with a flat griddle, oh what a splattered oily mess. It was well worth it, the small burgers were awesome. What's with all the dude, dude, dude talk? Haha, have a great day.

[@Patrick94GSR]

That’s why I love having my Blackstone flat top outside. No oily splatters to clean up aside from the griddle surface itself.

[@michaelwalker7961]

stinking YUMMMM! thanks for these! You guys rock!

[@ryanhowell4492]

Awesome

[@stevenhall1097]

Yummy yummy yummy

[@grill_in_da_kat]

A bench scraper would speed that up and keep you from pinching the meat together by squeezing to split it.

[@wait4dl]

what type of meat grinder i want to go less expensive !

[@Vabasseroutdoors1]

Delicious 😋

[@bullwevularchlord2stull791]

I fresh grind short rib for smash burgers it is so yummy!!

[@policeking2003]

Can you make a video on how you clean your flat top after grilling?

[@Mrbink01]

Speaking from experience...I own that same flat top...only heating half the griddle can warp the top.

[@Patrick94GSR]

Dang, metal too thin maybe? I use half the burners on my Blackstone all the time with no issues. Sometimes all burners but at different levels. Sometimes only the left or right half, and sometimes only the middle two. No warping at all.

[@neiluk1470]

I was wondering what the orange things were until she revealed they were gloves! I was like.... they can't be carrots... can they?

[@BurgervomFTD]

Bacon, definitely needs Bacon! I want those Burgers right now 😭

[@Heygrillhey]

Extra bacon!!

[@tonystrades8007]

another secret to the best smash burger is to add pickle juice just wipe it to the flat top first then add the butter after trust me this will change the way you eat burgers

[@glenfdoss]

Have it your way. Ain’t bk mc d Wendy’s do what you want.

[@emartin787]

LOL! Todd got some sauce as an appetizer!

[@jb2u19]

Great job however I think this needs an updated version as todays smash burgers are way thinner.

[@jmax5105]

If I chop everything that I want in my smashburger up and just mix it in with the "burger balls", can I still call it a smashburger? I'm thinking onions, garlic, jalapeno.... thanks for sharing and keep up the great work! You should see if the BBQ Pit Stop will carry your line of rubs and seasonings so I can just run down and pick up some more!

[@TheBigShuck]

Your onions won't cook all the way through if you add to meat as mixture. A smash burger should be super thin cooked on a higher heat, approximately 30 to 45 seconds to each side.

[@bostonjackson9384]

Handle your balls lightly.... don't mash them. Like she said, never overwork your balls.

No onions underneath, let it cook on one side til you see juice forming on top of burger, way too much seasoning. I was yelling at the video the whole time

Regular smash burgers have no onions on them when grilling, grill onion and when done put on
