Recipe #040 · Bangin’ Jalapeño
Bangin Jalapeno Crack Smashburgers
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend is best)
- 2 tsp Bangin Jalapeno Spice Blend
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 4 slices American, cheddar or pepper jack cheese
- 4 brioche buns
- Pickle slices
- Optional: mayo or garlic aioli, sliced jalapeños, diced onions
Instructions
- Divide ground beef into 4 equal balls (about 4 oz each).
- In a small bowl, mix Bangin Jalapeno Spice Blend, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.
- Generously season both sides of each beef ball.
- Preheat griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
- Place a beef ball on the hot surface. Immediately smash it down as thin as you can with a heavy spatula.
- Cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until the edges are dark, crispy and lacy.
- Flip, add cheese and cook for another 1–2 minutes until cheese is melted and burger is cooked through.
- Repeat with remaining beef balls.
- Build your burger: bun, sauce, pickles, smashburger, jalapeños, onions—stack it high and enjoy!
Tip: Don't press down after smashing! Let that burger crack and sizzle for maximum crispy edges! THAT'S WHERE THE FLAVOR IS!
