A great Smash Burger is all about balance: crispy-edged patties, a juicy center, thinly sliced cheese that’s just melted enough to hold everything together, and a few simple toppings—all tucked into a fluffy, toasted potato bun. At the heart of a stellar Smash Burger is high-quality ground beef. While it’s not necessary, grinding the beef yourself can add a visual appeal to the cooking process, as it showcases the blend of lean meat and fat.
