Smash Burgers with Baconnaise: The Ultimate Burger Experience

1. Use a Heavy Spatula for Crushing: To get that signature crispy edge, you need to press down hard. A sturdy, heavy spatula is key to achieving the right texture. You can even use a second spatula to help press down if needed.

2. Bacon Crumbles for Extra Texture: Bacon bits or crumbles are key to the baconnaise. If you want more bacon flavor in every bite, chop the bacon into finer pieces, or even add an extra strip.

3. Toast Your Buns: Toasting your buns adds a nice crunch and prevents them from getting soggy from the sauce. You can toast them with a little butter for added flavor.

4. Adjust the Sauce to Your Taste: The baconnaise recipe is flexible. If you want it creamier, add more mayo. If you love mustard, feel free to increase the Dijon mustard for more tang.

5. Don’t Overcook the Patties: Smash burgers are meant to be crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Be sure not to overcook the patties—keep them on the skillet for just the right amount of time to achieve that perfect balance.

Why Smash Burgers?

Smash burgers are all about getting the most out of your ground beef. When you press the beef ball into the hot skillet, the surface area increases, allowing the meat to sear quickly. The result is a crispy crust that locks in all the juices, giving you a burger that’s crispy on the edges and tender inside.

Adding baconnaise takes these burgers to a whole new level. The creamy mayo combined with smoky, crispy bacon is the perfect topping for your juicy patties. Every bite is a delightful blend of textures and flavors that will make your taste buds rejoice.
