Smash Burgers on the Camp Chef Griddle

It doesn't get much better than these smash burgers on the Camp Chef griddle! Sometimes just a classic double patty smash burger with American cheese is all you need. Watch as I show you 3 different methods to make a paper-thin, lacy smashburger on the griddle.
I used a mix of 80/20 ground chuck and ground ribeye, and topped my smashburgers with a quick burger sauce of mayo, mustard, ketchup, pickle, and onion. And don't forget to toast your hamburger buns right on your griddle in the leftover beef fat. Perfection!

Another good tip is to scrape the grease off in between burgers, you develop a better crust on the patties when the griddle is screaming hot and dry.

That is awesome! Welcome to the family. Let's try this. !/4 cup of finely diced onion and dill pickle, 1/2 cup mayo, 1/4 cup of mustard and ketchup with about 2 tbls horseradish. obviously if that's to hot use less. You can start with 1 tbsp and add more if needed.

About 5 years ago my kids talked me into going to a fast food joint called Freddies. I was perplexed by this weird ultra thin burger configuration, but shocked in finding it was the best burger I have ever eaten. I recently moved out of state with the closest Freddies now being 4 hours away. I started to search how to replicate their burger and discovered something called smash burgers. Well, you just cost me about $500 as I am taking a trip to Costco this weekend for a new 36" Blackstone, and just purchased the tools on Amazon that you recommended in another video. I am excited to learn this griddle thing and extend it beyond smash burgers. We will see, but hopeful this Costco unit is of high enough quality. I would not answer your door for a while, as you may be served some papers...

Finally made this two ways - with turkey meat and 80/20 beef for the wife and my son. Believe or not the the smash turkey burgers were really good! The only thing that may have gone wrong with some of the beef - was a tad too dark on the first side. Probably have to flip sooner but my wife and 9 yr old loved them So its a win lol

[@chef_zach]

Question. I’ve been watching your videos a lot and sure do enjoy them. Is there a reason you use a sheet of parchment when you’re smashing your burgers? Haven’t seen any other KZbin chefs do it so I was wondering if there was an advantage to it.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Some say it stops the meat from sticking to the spatula or meat press. Honestly if done correctly you don't need it if done correctly. BUT it does help. I recently used it on my pit boss video because i wasnt sure about the new surface.

I agree. in the more recent videos I have mentioned that. I personally think that you can cook on high to adjust the temp of the ftg when a lot of food is introduced at one time and the temp takes a big dip but not much after that.

Your not doing anything wrong....thats why I preach I dont cook with temps because of drastic changes happen so easily... Nick I have a video that explains this in depth...hope you take a look...Flat Top Grill Temps.....does it matter..

So I dusted off + cleaned up my griddle and reseasoned it for the season. High heat and seasoned 8 times until it stopped smoking. Came back later to make smash burgers for the 1st time in 2024, they all stuck and were way overdone. I had such a hard time trying to flip the burgers, they were stuck to the griddle and by the time I did, they were pretty much crispy and wayyyy overdone lol Any clue to why you think that is? Maybe I should have cooked some bacon on there first before adding the burgers? I didnt think I'd have to add oil to the surface before cooking my burgers. I did not add any oil prior to cooking the burgers. Could that be it? Thanks Flat Top King!

[@sgtjunior7]

How much of the meats did you get and how many burgers did it make for you?

Hey thanks Kathy...

[@kmurray1981]

Hey I’ve got a question. When you were working with those stainless flat tops how hot did you need to get the cooking surface for a crust in a smash burger. I’ve been hitting like 480-500 and I’m still not getting a great crust. Everything else that can take some time for a crust to develop is no problem, but because those burgers are so thin and cook so fast it’s tough for me to develop a crust on the smash burger. Idk maybe go 550-575 degrees? Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

check this video out....its for beginners and common mistakes..kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZywf2iejbyYmdE

what is the temp of the flattop for the smash burgers?

[@TheFlatTopKing]

We typically hit around 450.

[@wwjj64]

What weight are the balls when you start or do you just eyeball them?
