Instructions
- Butter each burger bun with the softened butter, set aside.
- Heat the griddle to high heat (400°F).
- Coat a small area with cooking spray or other neutral oil with a smoke point and add the onions, moving around until soft and opaque, with a little char, about 2-3 minutes. Move to the side or off the griddle entirely.
- Divide the ground beef into 8 2-ounce balls.
- Working in batches (unless you have a large griddle), place 4 of the balls onto the hot surface and immediately smash with a strong, flat spatula. Do not move, just let them sizzle. Cook for about 30-45 seconds. Season from 12 inches above with Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Edges should be slightly charred and lacy.
- Using the spatula, scrape up the patties and flip. Top with your desired cheese and the sauteed onions, cooking for another 30 seconds.
- Remove to a plate.
- Immediately, place buttered burger buns down on the hot griddle to char for about 30 seconds or until browned. I actually do this to both sides to get the butter and burger grease effect all over, but that is up to you.
- Remove and assemble burgers, 2 patties per burger bun.
- Add any desired hamburger condiments.
- If you've tried this recipe, come back and let us know how it was in the comments or ratings.

Notes
- Do not use lean ground beef. You need a good amount of fat to prevent sticking and get the browned and crispy crust.
