HAPPY NATIONAL BURGER DAY!
In honor of this special day, we are sharing sister Jan's favorite burger recipe with you!
Nicasio Valley Cheese Smash Burgers
You will need:
4 hamburger buns
Toppings and condiments such as:
shredded lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pickles, mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard.
1 pound freshly ground beef chuck, we suggest, 80-20 beef
4 slices Nicasio Reserve Cheese or NV San Geronimo Cheese
1. Toast and dress the burger buns.
2. Divide the burger into 4 balls, flatten into patties, and season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat a large frying pan on high for 2 minutes. Using a stiff metal spatula, press down on the patties until they are an inch wider than the burger bun- thin out the edges.
4. Cook the patties until they are well browned, about 1 minute. Using the metal spatula, carefully scrape the patties from the pan. Flip, add the cheese, and cook until the cheese melts.
5. Place on burger buns. Serve.
Enjoy!
