Sometimes you feel like eating garbage. I make some of the most delicious smash burgers I’ve ever eaten, but some days I gotta go pick up a $1.29 hamburger from Burger King to ruin my day juuust right.

We make our biscuits and cinnamon rolls in these parts. Worth the few more minutes effort. So no pop here. No judgment though, we are all busy.

You can still get a fast food burger that cheap?

It’s about the size of a cookie, but yes. The price is probably the most delicious part

I just don’t understand smash burgers. I want my burgers moist and dripping down my mouth.souvide and sat or sear a chuck and grind if your super worried about food safety. I haven’t done either but they should’ve good. full disclosure, I’m writing this from the a hitter and there have been many more times today.

And that’s why mine are the best. I don’t smash them so aggressively and start with super cold beef so that I end up with something crisp, slightly greasy, but nice and juicy.
If you want a shortcut and don’t mind something a bit more processed, just buy Birchwood frozen patties. They turn out surprisingly great.

do you do them outside to get the high heat and smoke taken care of? griddle? cast iron pan? I’m just saying the best burgers I’ve ever had were an inch thick and raw in the middle and that’s hard to forget. damn I want a burger now. I’d happily try yours. depending on how old you are you may have never had a “danger” burger. they kinda went away in the late 90s with mad cow.

I looked up birchwood. I don’t think they have them around here but we have bubba burgers which are also pretty good in their own way. far from smash burgers as they are cooked frozen and already formed though.

Done right, smash burgers can still be juicy. The key is to realize that they only need to cook for literally 60 seconds or so because they’re so thin.

I also make my own cinnamon rolls and it’s way more than a few minutes effort. Mix, rise for 1.5 hours, roll out, roll up, cut them all individually, another hour rise, and then you can bake them.
Granted, I do everything up to the baking and then freeze them, but it’s way more than a few more minutes.
Then again, now that I make my own cinnamon rolls I can’t stand anyone else’s.
(I don’t make biscuits so maybe they’re easier)

Biscuits are way easier.
There’s a lot less steps
