Servings 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb ground beef
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil for grilling
- 1 pack of Hawaiian rolls
- 5 - 6 slices Colby Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons Burger Sauce plus more for dipping
- ½ cup Caramelized Onions (or Onion Jam)
Smash Burger Topping
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon dried minced onion
- ¼ teaspoon dried minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Divide the ground beef into 8 even balls, approximately 3 ounces each. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- On a large skillet or griddle, melt 1 tablespoon butter at medium-high. Place a small square of parchment paper over a ball of ground beef and put it on the hot griddle. Use a bacon press or the bottom of a small pan to press the ball into a thin patty (⅛-¼ inch thick). Cook for 1 minute, flip, and cook until the edges are crispy (about 2-3 minutes total). Set to the side and continue to cook all the burgers.
- Carefully slice the Hawaiian Rolls in half lengthwise and place the bottom half into a 9x13 pan.
- How to Layer: Add half of the cooked burgers evenly over the buns. Layer cheese slices evenly, cutting some in half if needed. Add the remaining patties on top, followed by caramelized onions and a drizzle of burger sauce. Top with the top half of the Hawaiian Rolls.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter and Worcestershire sauce. Brush this mixture evenly over the top of the rolls. Sprinkle minced onion, minced garlic, and sesame seeds over the rolls, and cover loosely with tin foil.
- Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melty and the tops are golden brown. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and enjoy with any remaining burger sauce!
