This was actually mostly a burger to use up the leftovers I had after my week of making tons of delicious smash burgers. Of course, I had a lot of different toppings left in the fridge and I wanted to try some combinations. This one with the heat from the chili jam, sweetness and smokiness from the bacon jam and also the creamy garlic from the burger sauce was really good.
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.
