Oh. My. Goodness.
These burgers tasted like there were illegal substances sprinkled all over it. I made them last night and I’m drooling just thinking about them today. I told my husband that the leftover patties are mine and now we’re arguing.

I cannot believe how good these came out. This is the second recipe I’ve tried on this website and I haven’t been disappointed yet. The other one was that creamy garlic chicken. I’m no longer racking my brain trying to figure out what to make every day. I have all the cheat codes right here!

Thank you, Budget Bytes!!! ❤️

In reply to Katie. I buy organic grass fed beef at Aldi for $5.50/lb ... I bet you can get it even cheaper on sale.

Really surprised by how much I liked this recipe!

I thought that the lack of being able to serve medium rare would remove the flavor but to my surprise it tasted great. Love how it makes the burger so well charred on the outside, that has always been my struggle with burgers, getting a good mallard reaction on the surface.

Also loved that burger seasoning, was always taught that salt and pepper is all you need with a burger but loved the kick this provided.

Hmm, I literally just went to our local coop which isn’t exactly an value saver and bought a pound of ground beef for…6.99.

Didn’t buy buns there that is very easy to find for under 3 bucks.

In reply to Sigh.

I made these today and they were amazing. I used lean ground meat because it was what I had and was hesitant to add the butter but it’s so good! I didn’t grate the butter but just slivered it with a butter knife. I just used salt and Cajun seasoning on the meat. I didn’t have hamburger buns but sourdough slices, so I toasted those and added the smash burger patties. My husband and son said these were the best burgers they ever had! Thank you for a great recipe!

I enjoyed this take on the smash burger but give it 3 stars for the sloppy recipe writing; by the time a recipe goes up on the site, it should have been thoroughly tested with all content closely reviewed. Readers should not have to point out gaps or miscalculations in the recipe. Such occurrences used to be rare on this website due to Beth’s conscientious recipe testing and proofreading. In this way I have to agree with many of the other commenters that the blog has strayed from its core mission – for me, largely in terms of reliability and trustworthiness. A little more attention to detail could go a long way with the other BB contributors.
