Instructions

Add the ground beef to a mixing bowl, then sprinkle in the garlic salt and pepper.
Mix just until combined, do not over mix or the meat can become tough.
Divide the meat into 8 equal size pieces and roll into balls.
Heat a griddle or blackstone to at least medium high (so you can get a good sear) and take each ball of beef, flatten it sightly with your hands, then place it on the griddle. Take a small piece of parchment paper and place it over the top of each burger.
Using a smash burger press or spatula and meat mallet and press down to completely flatten the burger as it is frying.
Remove the parchment and cook for 1-2 minutes or until there is still some pink left, then flip each one over to cook for another minute or so. Add a slice of cheese on top of one, and place the second patty on top and remove from the heat and cover. Covering helps the cheese melt and keeps them warm while you cook the remaining burgers.
Take your Keto bun and add the lettuce on the bottom, followed by the sliced tomato, add the burgers with cheese, and top with sliced pickles and either ketchup, mustard and/or mayonnaise and serve.
