Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 Pound Ground Beef preferably a burger blend of ground beef and chuck
- 1-2 teaspoons Burger Seasoning or to taste
- 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese shredded, optional
- 4 Cups Romaine Lettuce chopped
- 1 ½ Cups Grape Tomatoes halved
- ⅓ Cup Red Onion thinly sliced or diced
- Dill Pickles sliced, optional
- 1 Bag Alexia Waffle Cut Fries cooked according to package directions
- Killer Burger Sauce for serving
Instructions
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high to high heat until very hot.
- Divide the ground beef into 4 loosely packed 1/4-pound portions. Place the portions in the hot skillet without crumbling the meat.1 Pound Ground Beef
- Place a piece of parchment paper over each portion and firmly press the beef into the skillet with a cast-iron burger press. Season generously with burger seasoning.1-2 teaspoons Burger Seasoning
- Let the beef cook undisturbed until the bottom develops a deep brown, caramelized crust. Flip and cook until browned on the second side and the beef is cooked through.
- Only after both sides have browned, use a spatula to break the patties into bite-size chunks.
- If using cheese, sprinkle it directly over the beef. Let it melt into the meat and onto the hot skillet so some of the cheese gets browned and caramelized around the edges.1 Cup Cheddar Cheese
- Divide the romaine among 4 bowls. Top with grape tomatoes, red onion, smash burger beef, cheese, pickles if desired and crispy waffle fries.4 Cups Romaine Lettuce, 1 ½ Cups Grape Tomatoes, ⅓ Cup Red Onion, Dill Pickles
