Extra smashed Onion & cheese burger
Onions and beef goes together like rock and roll.
My secret to the best burger ever? Cheese, cheese and more cheese! Cheddar, Mozzarella and Curd cheese it is!
So let’s rock some onion smashed burgers on a cast iron griddle and roll this up with Swiss, Cheddar and fresh Cheese Curds right from Québec.
Before you go, make sure you grill your burger like you grill a steak. The griddle have to be screaming hot before adding the meat. That way, you’ll have a serious caramelization, resulting in an amazing crust. It’s all about the The Maillard reaction.
