Okay bro, I saw the recipe this morning while fasting ( we are doing... Ramadan) and I made this for my iftar 3.5 yrs old finished the whole burger by himself. My wife finished her first ever double patty burger. Take a bow. Elite 🍔 must try

I'd just like to say that I've been making these for about 6 months now. The sauce is the main game changer with the grated onion. So delicious, thank you for sharing this recipe!

Me and my older brother bought the ingredients and made it at home for us and the fam, and let me tell it was AMAZING. Now our family wants us to make more and we definitely plan to make more in the future. Thanks for the recipe!

Bruh that burger construction was the most satisfying I've ever seen

I will definitely go ahead and try this one, however something that wasn't done and what I recommend for everyone who adds tomato to their burger (or sandwich): always salt and pepper your tomatoes! It just adds another level and complexity to the taste.

I tried this recipe, and made burgers for my family. It turned out absolutely delicious, and filling, everyone loved it, and the sauce was incredibly brilliant! I used Australian Beef instead of Angus beef, but it still had a lot of flavour, and was extremely juicy, I also used brioche buns, which worked best with the flavour of the burger! I highly recommend to try this recipe, as it was extremely delicious!

This is the best tutorial I have ever seen. Fast, simple, and clear. This is the only tutorial that I actually like, fast and clear commentary, high quality video, and easy to understand. Every move/step is specified and explained properly. Amazing job!

[MicBergsma]

Watched this at 1:52 in the morning and just got hungry ugh 😣 haha

[andrewgalias]

I just made these and they are amazing! I used a blender to make an onion puree instead of chopping. Best smash burger I ever had

[fernandaherreracorrea]

I’ve made this recipe 3 times now for my family. Everybody loves it and it’s so easy to make.

Stumbled across this video and made these burgers tonight for my wife and 3 small children. These are fantastic - the whole family loved them. Note/Tip: On my electric stove I used a cast iron skillet and had to turn the heat to medium-low to keep from burning the burgers, and it was still plenty hot to get that nice crust.

Made this tonight for an early Father's Day dinner and everyone (especially my Dad) LOVED it. Used brioche buns and arugula instead of iceberg lettuce and both worked really well. THANK YOU for this excellent recipe and demonstration!
