A fun smash burger that has distinct flavors of the classic Big Mac sauce. It may not be 100% correct sauce, but it's close enough in my opinion anyway. And with fresh finely chopped onions and double cheeseburger, you get a juicy smash burger that tastes pretty close to the original. A fun way to get the feeling of a fast food chain in home cooking.
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.
