Smash Burgers with a Twist

[cowgirl]

I make a lot of smashburgers but usually go with the same ole Oklahoma onion smashburgers like those at Sid's Diner in the Ok City area.

This time I switched them up using Brethren Inthewood's recipe (thank you!)

Went with half beef burger and half hot, spicy Italian sausage. I was worried that the sausage might be too hot for me so I used 1/4lb hot Italian and 1/4lb of mild.

Bagged and blended...

Sliced some pepperoncini....again I went with the mild cause I'm a wuss about heat.

sliced..

Headed out to the blackstone...

used my handy smooshing trowel tool...

seasoned with smoked SPG blend...

Trying for a good "crust"...

Brethren Inthewood's recipe called for sriracha mixed with blue cheese dressing... I didn't have the dressing so I smeared a bit of sriracha directly on the burgers....and went with crumbled blue cheese instead.

topped with the pepperoncini and onions..

toasted my buns....

Topped two burgers with blue cheese and the other two with mozzarella..

Covered to melt the cheese...

I had my eye on this one from the beginning!

Ended up going with half of a blue cheese burger and half of a mozz..

The heat level was just right, which I liked! They had great flavor and I'm definitely making these again!
The blue cheese burgers were my favorite. I was so excited about tasting them... I forgot the tomatoes and lettuce for trimmin's. They didn't need it though.

Thanks again to Inthewoods for the great idea!! I loved em. :-D

Thanks for looking!

What is the advantage of smashing vs forming a patty? I seems to me that you lose juices smashing.

^^^I believe there's only one smash at the beginning, & it's about crust formation & probably only done on a flat top.

Anyway - Jeanie! :shocked: Looks fantastic! I'd need one for each hand. Then seconds (well I guess it'd really be 3rd & 4ths ).

Looks like that Inthewoods feller builds burgers as well as he builds houses.

Yes...what Greg said. It's all about the crust! :thumb:

Thanks Greg! I really loved the flavors on this one. It would be easy to raise the heat level on them. I am a wuss when it comes to hot food so I cut back a bit. lol Yep...Inthewoods has been holding out on us. :-D
Hope you're having a great weekend! :mrgreen:

My favorite way to eat a burger! Last time I did this was on my kamado joe with the cast iron flat top. Used way too much meat and it flattened out to about the size of your typical pancake lol

I love blue cheese with beef, and those look outstanding!!

Try melting some blue cheese compound butter, on your next steak. The best steak sauce ever!

Oh my Neighbor! I devour one right now. Outstanding as usual. The brand that makes the pepperoncinis is an awesome brand. All of the products are top notch. :thumb:
