DirectionsGet to the point
1Shape 1.33 lbs 80/20 ground chuck into four 1/3-lb patties. Press a 1/2-inch deep thumb dimple in center.
2Season heavily with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder right before hitting grates.
3Grill over direct medium-high heat for 5 minutes, flip once, and grill 3–4 minutes more.
4Top with sharp cheddar in final minute and serve on toasted brioche buns.
Dad pro tip

Do not smash burgers on an outdoor open-grate grill. Smashes are for cast iron flat-tops. On a grill, form 1/3-lb patties with a thumb dimple, flip ONCE at 5 minutes, and never press with a spatula.

Kid adjustment

Serve plain with American cheese and ketchup on a warm toasted bun.

Reheat

Reheat patty in air fryer at 360°F for 3 minutes.
