Smash Burgers with Baconnaise Sauce
These Smash Burgers with Baconnaise Sauce have crispy-edged beef patties smashed with thinly sliced onions, melted pepper jack cheese, and a smoky homemade bacon sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground chuck formed into 1/3 pound balls (80/20 for the best flavor)
- 2 white onions thinly sliced with a mandoline
- 1/2 pound bacon crispy and chopped
- Salt pepper, garlic for seasoning
- Mustard for cooking
- Pepper jack cheese sliced
- Burger buns toasted
- Avocado oil for cooking
Baconnaise Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1/2 pound crispy chopped bacon
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose rub Salt, pepper, garlic
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Form the ground chuck into 1/3 pound balls and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Slice the white onions as thin as possible, using a mandoline safely with the guard or gloves. Squeeze out excess water and refrigerate.
- Crisp up the bacon, chop it, and set it aside.
- Prepare the Baconnaise Sauce: Mix mayo, ketchup, mustard, bacon, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, all-purpose rub, and red pepper flakes. Refrigerate.
- Heat a griddle to medium-high heat. Apply avocado oil and place burger balls on the griddle, 2-3 inches apart. Add sliced onions on top and smash down with a burger press. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes, then add mustard on top, flip, and add pepper jack cheese. Cook until cheese melts, about 3 more minutes.
- Toast burger buns on the griddle. Assemble the burgers with Baconnaise sauce on the bottom bun, double smash burgers, more Baconnaise sauce, and the top bun.
