Nutritional InformationTo Prepare Smash Burger Patties:
Preheat a griddle to 350 degrees or a skillet over medium heat. Divide the beef into four equal balls. Place the burger balls on the heated griddle or skillet and smash them with a spatula until they are no more than 1/2 inch thick. Season each patty with salt and pepper. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, flipping once, until cooked. Note: Burgers should reach a minimum internal temperature of 158 degrees Fahrenheit when cooked. Place 2 cheese slices on top of each burger and allow them to melt. Keep warm until ready to use.
To Prepare Bistro Sauce:
Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl until well combined. Cover and keep refrigerated until ready to use.
To Assemble Bacon Crunch:
Place the cheeseburger on the heel of the bun. Place the following ingredients in order on top of the burger:
– 2 slices of bacon, cut in half
– 1 leaf lettuce
– 3 pickle chips
– 1/2 cup potato chips.
Spread 1 tablespoon of bistro sauce on the crown of the bun. Gently close the sandwich, ensuring you do not crush the chips before eating. Enjoy immediately!
