  • Smash Burgers on the brand new Loco Griddle:
    I cook hamburgers all sorts of different ways, but a smashburger is probably my favorite burger. The simplicity of this technique allows the beef and the crust you get from the griddle to shine. This can be done on a griddle, flattop or a cast iron skillet. Today we will be using the brand new Loco Griddle in this video.

    I’ve made hundreds of smash burgers many different ways. Great video. The only rule I have, personally, is it has to be seasoned with Holy Cow if at all possible. That’s my go to secret weapon on smash burgers. Love the videos, you’ve taught me so much and I’m yet to try a bad meat church product!

    The trick of onion burgers back in early days at Hamburger Inn in Ardmore, Oklahoma was he poured a bit of beef tallow over the meat once smashed. That was the secret. These look great

      Dennis, Thanks for the trip down memory lane, as a former Ardmoreite myself I've had my share of Hamburger Inn onion smash burgers back in the 60's and 70's. According to my dad, another thing the cook would do is to smash the patty so thin that it only had one side. Ha Ha.

  • @MattRichetelli
    @MattRichetelli 2 года назад +49

    Recommendation for the onions: Throw some salt on them after slicing and put them in a bowl for a few minutes. It will suck all the moisture out of them and you can squeeze out any remaining water left. It makes it super crispy.

    • @SuWoopSparrow
      @SuWoopSparrow 2 года назад +5

      Only thing make sure you put your onions on top, not on bottom. Putting on bottom you wont get a nice crust, which is the whole point of a smash burger.

    • @bleonardyou
      @bleonardyou Год назад

      I agree with razor thin, but then use two patties on each bun so that it's a normal size. I like three ounces per patty for a six ounce burger.

    I wouldn't call these smashburgers. no hot smashed contact with the meat to the griddle to kick off the milliard effect. That being said these are AWESOME. We call them full size white castle burgers and have been making them for years. Similar to the Oklahoma onion burger which I have done many times as well. For the Oklahoma onion burgers I smash the burgers first get the crust going then put the onions down and flip the burgers over and onto the onions. All three of these techniques lead to fabulous results.

Then assemble it all on the Loco grill, I got a feeling the sandwich would be NUTS!

    Loose the mayonnaise, fully cook the onions separately (I'm seriously allergic to raw onions; the more they stink raw, the sooner I'm going to the ER with massive breathing issues. Fully cooked though is great) swap in a good yellow mustard with a spicy barbecue sauce instead of ketchup with a thick layer of crunchy dill pickles on top and I am there.
    The only major complaint I have is that these videos always imply that you need restaurant grade equipment. Why not start a series of where you started grilling, with the cheapest equipment you can get??? My personal experience is that real pro's can do magic with burning leaves and aluminum foil for a cooking surface. Show us what you can really do!!! No, I'm not complaining, I'm already a subscriber.

  • @therealBC-
    @therealBC- 2 года назад +17

    Hey Matt, love your videos but I had a question. Why did you opt to smash the pattie on top of the onions rather than smash the pattie down naked to create more of a sear on them? Don't get me wrong, I'd still eat all 3 of them burgers, but was wondering if there is something I am missing.

    • @MeatChurchBBQ
      @MeatChurchBBQ  2 года назад +13

    • @BrisketMedic
      @BrisketMedic 2 года назад

      Because the origin of this style of burger used onions to make more substance to the burger itself. By smashing over the burger it’s a away to merge the two, while getting the seared flavors of both, that you would miss out on by combining them prior to cooking.

    • @danielhowell167
      @danielhowell167 2 года назад +14

      The typical method for an Oklahoma style smashed onion burger involves placing the meat on the griddle and then thin sliced onions on top, smashing the onions into the patty. This way you get the sear and smash burger crust on the patty (which is impossible if the onions are underneath because of all of the moisture in them), and then when you flip to the onion side it allows the onions to crisp up in the rendered beef fat. I’d definitely recommend this instead of the way it’s done in the video, although at the end of the day it is all gonna be delicious

      @ͲᎬХͲ ᎷᎬ ϴΝ ͲᎬᏞᎬᏀᎡᎪᎷ 👉MeatChurchBBQ Thanks for the invite! Another note on using parchment paper to press smash burgers, be sure your parchment is 12" or 14". The reason being, this size will keep the grease and splatter off your smash tool and hands as it also works as a barrier to do so. And on another note, the best tool for flipping smash burgers is a 6" putty knife. Great for getting deep under the patty crust, and also great for flipping eggs. I rarely use a spatula any more.
