Why Smash Burgers?
Smash burgers are all about simplicity and flavor. Instead of thick patties, you use ground chuck formed into loose balls and smash them onto a hot surface, which creates those irresistible caramelized edges and a perfect sear.
The high fat content of 80/20 ground beef ensures juiciness, while smashing allows maximum surface area for browning and flavor.
What is Baconnaise Sauce?
The key to elevating your burger is the rich baconnaise sauce. This bacon-infused sauce is creamy, smoky, tangy, and slightly spicy—everything you want in a burger condiment.
It’s made with a ½ cup mayo, crispy bacon, tablespoons ketchup, hot honey, yellow mustard, red pepper flakes, and chives. This isn’t your average spread—it’s a smoky baconnaise sauce that takes your burger over the top.
