    1. In a small bowl, mix the special sauce ingredients together and set aside.  In a separate small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.  Then, set the seasoning mixture aside.

    1. Divide the ground beef into 8 portions (3 oz. each) and form into balls.  In a cast iron skillet on medium heat, add 1 – 2 balls of the ground beef.  Then lay a piece of parchment paper on top of each one and press with a burger smasher until the patties are thin.  Sprinkle with some of the seasoning mixture.  Then add about 1 tsp. of Worcestershire sauce in the bottom of the skillet around the patties and cook until browned.  Flip the patties over, sprinkle with a little more of the seasoning mixture, and continue to cook until browned.

 

  1. Then place a slice of cheese on top of each patty transfer to a plate and cover.  Repeat with the remaining balls of ground beef.
  3. Spread some special sauce mixture on each bottom bun.  Then place some dill pickles and 2 of the patties. Top with onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and the top of the yummy, toasted bun.  Get ready to enjoy the most delicious, juiciest Smash Burger ever!
