What’s a Smash Burger?

A fried burger can be described as a thin, buttery burger served on a lightly toasted bun. They are the embodiment of it. However, they can also be delicious and desirable in their own right. Don’t get me wrong, Smashburger isn’t the only one who invented them.

Many others have made a fortune from these bad boys for years. This is the opposite of what most people want in a burger – large, juicy, well-seasoned beef on a croissant. Smashburger is a hamburger joint, not like the Gettysburger. These are the things you yearn for and don’t want anyone to know.

Frequently asked questions about Smash Burgers Recipe

Can I use any other meats?

Yes! Ground beef is a favorite ingredient in burgers, so we reach for it often. You can also substitute minced turkey and chicken. You should remember that every ingredient you use will taste differently from traditional ground beef.

How do I add a hamburger to my sandwich?

Anything you like can be added! You can add bacon, ham, hash browns, and fried eggs, as well as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, guacamole, and other toppings. You can add any toppings you like.

What size Blackstone Griddle do I need?

We have 36 inches because we love to have fun and make lots of food. A smaller grid is better if you’re feeding several people. Blackstone grills are also available that you can easily transport and take with you to the lake.

How much meat should I consume?

This recipe makes a delicious smash hamburger. We made 6 1/4 lbs of burgers using 1 1/2 pounds. You can adjust the amount to make the burgers you want.

Ingredients

• 1 to 2 pounds of ground beef, depending on how many you make.
• You can use any spices you like, but I used only salt & pepper 
• Butter,
• Cheese slices,
• Toppings: tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and salad.
• This Smash Burger sauce (Optional)

Instructions

1. Turn on the medium heat setting of your Blackstone Griddle.

2. Put 1/4 to 1/3 of the ground beef in a bowl. You can reduce or increase the size of the ground beef if you wish, but we prefer it that way. You must pack it loosely. You should shape them with your hands. Take care not to overwork them, and don’t pack them.

3. Grease butter with a butter knife. You can also use your favorite oil.

4. Place the hamburger balls on the hot grid. It should crack for about 3-4 minutes. Use a large spatula to press the burgers.

TIP: You can also place a piece of parchment paper on top of the burger to prevent it from sticking to your spatula. You can also spray the spatula with non-stick spray, or butter it.

5. You can taste the burgers however you like. Allow them to cook until their underside is brown and becomes soft. Then turn them over. This takes approximately 5 minutes. This can vary depending on how hot your heat is.

6. Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the desired shape is achieved. Let the cheese melt.

7. After turning the burgers, grease your grate and place the buns on it. Bake them until you are satisfied with the texture of the toast.

8. Make your smash burgers!

Blackstone Griddle Recipes

This is how you make a hamburger. You can also use a grill to make it more authentic. They seem furious in summer and post photos of their breakfast, lunch, and dinner onboard with a Blackstone background. While trendy right now, smaller folding grids are used for cooking outdoors.

Also, you can use Electric grill, just like your mom used to make pancakes every Sunday morning. The internal gas grille is an optional feature on stoves with high-end features. It can be heated with propane or natural gases.

The Homemade German recipe of Goetta is made from meat, grain and spices. Ground pork or beef is usually used in this recipe. In the initial days, this dish was mostly used to stretch out servings of meat to save money.

German Goetta Recipe

The Goetta is almost similar to the other German dish of scrapple, which was also introduced by the immigrants to stretch the meat for a few more servings. However, the major difference between scrapple and goetta is that the former uses cornmeal or rice flour, while the latter uses pinhead oats or steel-cut oats.

Oats and other ingredients were used to make this breakfast sausage so that people could use a minimum quantity of meat to feed a large number of people. In Germany, this goetta is traditionally prepared with vegetables and authentic spices like rosemary and thyme.

Currently, the goetta comes with certain USDA restrictions. To be known as the goetta, this dish should contain less than 50% meat only.

Thanks to its rich and filling flavors, the Goetta makes for an excellent breakfast dish. The popularity of this dish has spread to almost all parts of the world today, though it has its origins in Germany. Today in the Metro Cincinnati area, the goetta is so popular that the residents of this region consume close to 1 million Goettas in a single year.

Glier’s Goettafest

The regions of Kentucky, Newport, and the nearby areas conduct the Glier’s Goettafest every year in August to celebrate this dish and appreciate the German heritage and culture. The festival is conducted on the Ohio River waterfront.

The greater Cincinnati area is known for its dominant German culture; therefore, it is only natural that the region appreciates this dish like never before during the festival. Music, food and lots of entertainment attract visitors during this time of the year. Currently, Glier’ Goetta is the world’s largest-selling Goettas today.

An interesting point to note is that though the goetta is considered a German breakfast sausage, it is not a breakfast dish that is commonly eaten in Germany. People eat this during other times of the day as well.

To make this dish more filling than ever, some people also eat Goettas with scrambled eggs as well.  Regardless of the way it is eaten, Goettas burst with flavors that remind us of the rich German heritage that is still popular across the world today.

Homemade German Goetta Easy Recipe

Ingredients

• Pinhead oats or steel-cut oats – 2.5 cups
• Beef Broth – 4 cups
• Water – 4 cups
• Sea salt – 3 tablespoons
• Bay Leaves – 3
• Dried marjoram – 1.5 teaspoons
• Ground pork – 1 pound
• Ground beef – 1 pound
• Yellow Onion – 1 large (chop it finely)
• Garlic cloves minced – 5
• Ground Ginger – 1 teaspoon
• Ground Mace – 1 teaspoon
• Freshly ground white pepper, black pepper, and ground coriander – ½ teaspoon each
• Ground cloves – ¼ teaspoon

Instructions

• Use a large pot to mix the oats, beef broth, water, salt, bay leaves, and dried marjoram. Keep the pot on medium-high flame and allow the mixture to come to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the flame to low. Let the pot be on low flame for about 90 minutes. This gives enough time for the oats to become soft and for the contents to absorb all the liquid.
• In the thick mixture, you should now add the beef, pork, and all other spices. Keep the flame on high so that the mixture boils quickly. Once it starts to boil, reduce the flame to low, and let the contents cook on low flame for an hour. Ensure that you stir the contents occasionally so that they don’t stick to the sides or bottom of the pot. You can keep the pot closed while cooking if the liquid has been absorbed in the first stage. If not, you should leave the pot open. After an hour, you will notice that the mixture has turned thick.
• At this stage, switch off the flame. Then, pour the mixture into a couple of grease cans (having a dimension of 9 x5) and allow it to cool down completely. Once it has cooled down, cover the grease cans with plastic wrap and let them settle in the refrigerator throughout the night.
• In the morning, you can take the mixture out and cut them into thick slices of at least ½ inch thickness so that they don’t break apart. Fry these slices on a non-stick pan, on a medium-high flame, without adding any oil. Each side would need about 4 to 5 minutes to get cooked. Once they have turned golden brown, you can switch off the flame.
• Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors of this dish.

Some points to note

• You can also keep the mixture wrapped in nicely-sealed plastic bags in the freezer for up to 2 to 3 months. All you need to do is thaw it well before slicing it and frying it on the non-stick pan. This can save you a lot of time.
• It is important not to use any oil while frying the slices of Goetta because the oil will cause the dish to become soggy and break apart.
• While frying the patties, it is important to cook each side for about 5 to 8 minutes to cook the contents inside well. When the patties are getting fried, you should not press them hard or flip them over before they cook well. This will make the bottom sides of the slices stick to the pan and make the entire dish messy.
• If you don’t have the time to chill the goetta base in the refrigerator throughout the night, you can also chill them for about 2 to 3 hours to make the base strong and firm.
• To get the perfect taste of goetta, you should preheat the non-stick pan to a temperature of about 300 degrees F.

Orange Crush Cocktail

The specialty of this cocktail is that the oranges used here are ripe, pulpy, and freshly picked. In any part of the world, orange has its own identity. It somehow manages to squeeze its place either in desserts or in drinks. Apart from their good taste, oranges are also highly nutritional, especially freshly squeezed oranges.

For all the health enthusiasts, it may be their go-to drink. With its low-calorie levels, this drink can give them their daily dose of citrus.

In some parts of the world, the word, crush or drink is supposed to be orange crush only, as there is no other flavor. In Indian households, orange drinks are patented childhood refreshments. As we grew up, we moved on to give it a modern twist in both ways – virgin and non-virgin.

Orange Crush Cocktail Recipe

With a prep time as minimal as 10 minutes, this set of ingredients will serve 1.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of ice (cubes or crushed)
• 1 big fresh orange
• 2 ounces of vodka
• 1 ounce of Grand Marnier (preferably orange flavored)
• 3-4 ounces of any lime soda Sprite or 7 UP
• Orange wedges for garnishing
• Fresh Mint leaves

Instructions

• Procedure to make orange crush (Virgin)
• As a first step of the process, we will first need to extract fresh juice from the orange. Do not use pre-squeezed orange pulp or juice, as the taste may vary, causing the drink to turn bitter. Take one orange, cut it in half and with the help of a juicer or merely by using your hands squeeze out its juice. Make sure to add some pulp to the drink to add a zesty flavor.
• Next, take 2 cups of ice to be added to the drink. You can use crushed ice or cube-shaped ice. You can choose the type of ice that you prefer at your convenience.
• Add the ice and the orange extract with the pulp to any of your favorite glasses. You could ideally choose a tall one with a big mouth to mix the drink well. Add to it any lime soda of your choice. The most used sodas in this recipe are 7 Up or Sprite.
• Garnish it with a sprig of mint leaves, or you can also add crushed mint leaves to the top of the drink. This will give added aroma and give the drink an enhanced taste.
• Take another orange and cut a sphere horizontally from it. You can top the drink with an orange wedge sticking at one end of the glass. Drizzle some sugar on the edges of the chosen glass to give the drink some richness and elegance.
• Serve cold with a straw.
• Process of making orange crush (Non-Virgin)
• The preparation time for this process is around 15 minutes and will yield one serving.
• We will first need to extract fresh juice from the orange. Do not use pre-squeezed orange pulp or juice, as the taste may vary, causing the drink to turn bitter. Take one orange, cut it in half and with the help of a juicer or merely by using your hands, squeeze out its juice, and make sure to add some pulp to it to add a zesty flavor.
• Next, take 2 cups of ice. You can use crushed ice or cube-shaped ice. It completely depends on how you prefer it.
• In another glass, pour 2 ounces of vodka. To this, add 1 ounce of orange-flavored Grand Marnier. Adding flavored Grand Marnier can be skipped if you don’t like it. Non-flavored Grand Marnier lives up to the taste as well as the flavored version. Stir or shake this mixture well.
• Add the ice and the orange extract with the pulp to any of your favorite glasses. You could ideally choose a tall one with a big mouth to mix the liquid well. You can now add any lime soda of your choice ( 7 Up or Sprite) to this liquid.
• Garnish it with a sprig of mint leaves, or you can also add crushed mint leaves to the drink to give it an additional aroma and give an enhanced taste.
• Take another orange and cut a sphere horizontally from it. Top the drink with an orange wedge sticking it at one end of the glass. You can also drizzle some sugar on the edges of the chosen glass.
• Serve cold with a straw.

Some alternatives to try this cocktail with

• Instead of lime or lemon soda, you can use any bubbly liquid with a neutral base or flavoring. Tonic water, seltzer water, sparkling water, or flavors of sparkling water will all replace lime soda well.
• You can use grapefruit instead of oranges to make a crush, following the same procedure as a bitter or strong alternative.
• You can use jiggers to measure the amount of alcohol.
• If you’re allergic, you can skip mint leaves.
• Cointreau, Triple Sec, and Orange Curacao are some popular additional liquor types that can be used instead of Grand Marnier or flavored Grand Marnier.
