INSTRUCTIONS:

• Step 1: Divide the ground beef into equal portions and gently form them into balls, slightly larger than the size of your burger buns.
• Step 2: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Ensure the cooking surface is well-oiled to prevent sticking. Season each beef ball generously with salt and pepper.
• Step 3: Place a ball of seasoned ground beef onto the hot cooking surface. Using a sturdy spatula or burger press, firmly smash down on the beef ball to create a thin patty. The smashing action helps create a crispy, flavorful crust.

• Step 8: Crown your burger masterpiece with the top bun, gently press down, and get ready to experience burger bliss.
