    Title: Bacon Double Cheeseburger
    Categories: Beef, Pork, Cheese
    Yield: 1 servings

    3 sl Bacon ends or thick-cut
    - bacon
    2 sl Pepper-Jack cheese
    1/4 lb Ground chuck patty
    Salt & pepper
    1 Hamburger bun; lightly
    - toasted
    2 sl Dill pickle
    2 sl Tomato
    1 Handful shredded lettuce
    2 sl White onion
    Mustard, ketchup, mayo

    Place the bacon in a saucepan with enough water to cover
    it. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a slow simmer for
    about 45 minutes, or until the bacon shreds easily.

    Meanwhile, form the ground beef chuck into a patty and
    season with salt and pepper. Reserve.

    Remove the bacon from the water and place a small pile
    on one side of a large frying pan. Use a flat metal
    spatula to press down on the bacon as it cooks, forming
    into a thin, flat, patty.

    Place the beef patty on the other side of the frying pan
    and score with the edge of the spatula.

    Flip both the beef and bacon patty over, cooking on both
    sides. Continue to press the bacon patty with the
    spatula to flatten it. Cook bacon until it is crisp on
    both sides and resembles a hashbrown. Cook the burger
    patty to desired doneness.

    Begin assembling the burger. Slather mustard and mayo on
    the bottom half of the bun. Stack onion rings on top of
    each other and drizzle with ketchup. Stack tomato slices
    and pickles on top of onions. Top with lettuce.

    Place a slice of cheese on the bacon patty and the
    hamburger patty. Place the top bun on the bacon and
    transfer the bacon patty on top of the beef patty. Lift
    the whole contraption off the grill and place on top of
    the bottom half of the burger.

    Wrap up the burger in some waxed or parchment paper and
    dig in!

    Title: The Ultimate Smash Cheeseburger
    Categories: Beef, Cheese, Breads, Vegetables
    Yield: 1 servings

    1 Soft hamburger roll;
    - buttered, toasted
    4 oz (110 g) fresh ground chuck,
    - in two 2-oz (55 g) balls
    Salt & fresh ground pepper
    1 sl Good melting cheese;
    - American, cheddar, or
    - homemade

    MMMMM-------------------CONDIMENTS & TOPPINGS------------------------
    Mayonnaise
    Mustard
    Shredded lettuce
    Sliced onion
    Tomatoes
    Pickles

    Prepare burger bun by laying toppings on bottom half of
    bun. Have it nearby and ready for when your burger is
    cooked.

    Preheat a large stainless steel sauté pan or skillet
    over high heat for 2 minutes. Place balls of beef in pan
    and smash down with a stiff metal spatula, using a
    second spatula to add pressure. Smashed patties should
    be slightly wider than burger bun.

    Season generously with salt and pepper and allow to cook
    until patties are well browned and tops are beginning to
    turn pale pink/gray in spots, about 45 seconds. Using a
    bench scraper or the back side of a stiff metal spatula,
    carefully scrape patties from pan, making sure to get
    all of the browned bits.

    Flip patties and immediately place a slice of cheese
    over 1 patty, then stack the second directly on top.
    Immediately remove from pan and transfer to waiting
    burger bun. Serve.
