A combination of flavors that really appeals. Delicious melted cheese over the fried steaks with sweet and salty bacon jam together with smoky BBQ sauce and tangy pickled red onions. Very tasty and a burger that I like to make again and again.
I prepare the bacon jam in advance and then leave it in the fridge where it will last for a few days. It will also harden and become a little gray and dull, but when it is heated up it turns wonderfully red again.
I have written a little about my experiences with smashburgers in this article and hope that it can explain the things that I may not go through in detail right here in the recipe. There I write a little about what type of ground beef is good to use and things to think about in general.
I don't have a fancy griddle or the like unfortunately, but you can also do this in a regular durable frying pan. However, the frying pan needs to withstand a little scraping so use carbon steel or stainless steel frying pan (absolutely do not use a frying pan with a non-stick coating). Sure, it's a bit cramped in the pan, but you can do it in batches instead if you think it's easier. Personally, I don't care that much if the burger turns out a little lopsided - that's just part of the charm. It's definitely delicious anyway.
