Step by Step

Instructions

01
Divide the beef into 8 equal parts and roll them into meatballs. Season with plenty of kosher salt.
02
Make the special secret sauce: combine the mayo, ketchup, relish, garlic powder and Salt Pepper + Three Chiles. Check for seasoning and add salt, if needed.
03
Heat your skillet or a flat top to medium high heat.
04
Lightly oil the skillet or flat top and place the burgers on the skillet or flat top. Once juices start to pool at the bottom of the burger use a smash burger press or large metal spatula to smash the burger until it is SUPER THIN! Season with a pinch of kosher salt and add the crushed Funyuns.
05
Once you see juices pooling on the meat flip the burgers. Add the cheese and place a top bun on top of four patties. As soon as the cheese is melted, put the patties with the bun on top of the other patties and pull them off.
06
Toast the bottom buns on the still hot skillet or flat top and then smear with the special sauce. Top with shredded lettuce and your burger patties with the top bun.
