GUSSA Smash Burgers

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef, 80/20
• Salt and black pepper
• 4 slices American or cheddar cheese
• 4 potato buns
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) GUSSA, plus more for the patties
• 3 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• Pickles
• Butter, for the buns

Method

1. Stir GUSSA into the mayonnaise. Set aside.
2. Divide the beef into 8 loose balls. Do not pack them.
3. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it smokes. Butter the buns and toast them cut-side down first; set aside.
4. Add two balls to the skillet and smash each flat with a spatula for 10 seconds. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 2 minutes until the edges are crisp and brown.
5. Flip, squeeze a little GUSSA over each patty, top with cheese and cook 45 seconds more.
6. Stack two patties per bun with GUSSA mayo, onion and pickles. Repeat with the remaining beef.

Tips

• A second spatula pressed on top of the first gives you the leverage to smash properly.
