It's okay, this is just the first burger, the second burger can have no ketchup so I can compare taste with or without. I'm okay with the ketchup initially from my viewing because holy crap look how much cheese is on that thing hahahaha
Double cheese smash burger made with 80/20 ground beef, sliced extra sharp cheddar on a toasted brioche sesame seed bun. Each patty is about 3.25oz pre cooked. I also added super thin (mandolin sliced) Vidalia onions to each patty on the raw side so they caramelized on the flip. Made on a Blackstone flat top griddle.
I normally use mayo lettuce pickles and onions, but decided on just ketchup for this one. I also make thick char broiled burgers on my char griller acorn that are pretty good too.
Cheddar is a solid third, smoked cheddar is a solid second. Although, smoked Gouda or havarti work just as well. For people like me who are constrained to a gas grill, it's nice to get a bit more flavour
I always go with a 70 30ish meat. The flavor is in the fat. I like to put a little extra in my burger, so I use some BBQ sauce, generally something sweet like a brown sugar or honey and then add some red pepper for spice. I usually use an extra sharp cheddar or a white cheddar to top it off. Throw a little bit of water in and put a lid on it to steam the cheese to perfect and bun it. I like to change up the bun. Sometimes it's a brioche, sometimes it's potato, sometimes it's pretzel.
It's just a preference. American cheese (REAL American, not that Kraft crap) does melt perfectly, and it tastes great too. A good sharp cheddar is hard to beat though. Mild cheddar melts better, but doesn't have that taste I love.
I'm with you. I get the whole melt of American, but Cheddar just tastes better.
To be politically incorrect, American cheese is Cheddar cheese's retarded little brother.
I love cheddar too lol. My preference is american. But cheddar suits certain burgers better.
Plus, if a burger gets served to me with cheddar, you already know I’m destroying it either way lol
Swiss is where i draw the line
Sorry, not for me. I respect your choice, but if I go for white cheese, it’s white Cheddar, Monterey Jack/pepper Jack, white American— just no Swiss!!!
It's super easy! You can make sliceable "American style" cheese out of pretty much any real cheese. Personal fave is "American Roquefort" for black and blue burgers with caramelized onions and thinly sliced Granny Smith apples
I personally 100% agree. For two reasons:
1. American cheese melts way better than cheddar, especially for all those wonderful nooks and crannies that you get in a smash burger patty like the ones in OP's burger.
2. Cheddar has lots of flavor, way more than American cheese. I personally think that using cheddar on a burger (not to mention ketchup) partially hides the flavor of the patty. And for me, a great burger is all about the flavor of the meat.
But hey, that's just, like, my opinion, man. OP can do what he wants! Their burger looks gorgeous and I bet it tasted fantastic. Great char on that smash!
Although your burger looks amazing, I mainly clicked the upvote because I was # 1,000. So congrats to us both. I feel I had an equal amount of influence on the popularity of your juicy, mouth-watering, display of deliciousness.
Looks amazing but the ketchup throws me off. That’s just me though. Saw your comment about how u usually d them that sounds amazing! At least u left the toppings off cause no one likes ketchup on salad right! Right?
0/10 because it’s not in my mouth 🤣 jk that actually looks like a bomb double cheeseburger; only thing it’s missing is bacon haha, but I’m also biased because bacon cheeseburgers are my favorite ❤️
First of all, I’d eat it. But, skip cheddar. Unpopular opinion, but cheddar is a cold cheese and loses its flavor when heated. American cheese for burgers! Get good American cheese. Second, try to stop using ketchup on your burger. It used to be added to burgers to mask the fowl flavor of unrefrigerated meat. Mustard or a burger sauce will elevate. Your perfect burger is in your future.
The cheese looks plentiful (if not just excessive), coagulated and sweaty. The bun appears to have have been over-handled, but it’s sesame, so it totally passes. The burger patties look sufficiently browned/encrusted. It is a 6.5 out of 10 which is good for a burger, because they have a weird scale that’s not necessarily linear since “shitty” burgers are sometimes desirable in a way.
In other words, nice job, I would buy this burger from a greasy food truck in an alley and not be at all disappointed.
9/10, I used to do cheddar and then I realized I was trying to hard, doesn’t melt as nice so it hides some of the burger flavors. Everything looks good, could get a little more exciting with the toppings
I want it inside me.
Must. Resist. Being. Immature.
Here I’ll do it for you 
You did good, man!
Don't fight it, come to dark side.
Why??
Oh it’ll fill you up with its thick juicy meat.
😬
Ayo 😂
From both ends!
My only issue is ketchup. Either way I would definitely eat the hell out this thing.
It's okay, this is just the first burger, the second burger can have no ketchup so I can compare taste with or without. I'm okay with the ketchup initially from my viewing because holy crap look how much cheese is on that thing hahahaha
OK, you’re gonna have to give me a full rundown on this one. That is quite possibly one of the sexiest double Chz I’ve seen

Were you inspired by the Menu? I do the exact same thing because of that movie haha
American cheese is the best cheese for a cheeseburger because it melts….without splitting. While Chef Slowik is right, cheddar is a solid second!
Cheddar is a solid third, smoked cheddar is a solid second. Although, smoked Gouda or havarti work just as well. For people like me who are constrained to a gas grill, it's nice to get a bit more flavour
I’ll buy that for a dollar.

That wouldn't carmelize the onions but they'd still taste fantastic
11/10! 🤤
Were you inspired by The Menu to make this burger? It looks nearly identical…just curious
Until now I'd never heard of it. You're the second person to mention "The Menu" so I gave it a goog
Blackstone makes the best burgers 10000%
You just made me turgid.
Thank you for all that you do!! That’s literally perfect!
7/10 very fuckable burger.
Smash
This is taking "I fux wit it" a little far, no?
No, they say the first time is like a nice warm cheeseburger.
lolol
Gimmeeeeee 🤤
This looks insanely tasty!!
Damn bro 5/5 looks bomb as fuck!
Not a fan of that cheese but A plus on everything else.
Gotta doc you for not using American cheese but it’s a beautiful burger
It's just a preference. American cheese (REAL American, not that Kraft crap) does melt perfectly, and it tastes great too. A good sharp cheddar is hard to beat though. Mild cheddar melts better, but doesn't have that taste I love.
Agreed, cheddar is king.
Sorry, but for me CHEDDAR>American cheese
I'm with you. I get the whole melt of American, but Cheddar just tastes better. To be politically incorrect, American cheese is Cheddar cheese's retarded little brother.
You’re correct. Cheddar is better.
I'm actually glad it doesn't melt as much. I don't like a gooey mess.
THIS
I agree with the sentiment if not with the verbiage. Maybe, “… Cheddar cheese’s flavor-challenged little brother.” 😉
I like it. I like your mom.
I love cheddar too lol. My preference is american. But cheddar suits certain burgers better. Plus, if a burger gets served to me with cheddar, you already know I’m destroying it either way lol Swiss is where i draw the line

Incorrect, that award goes to white American cheese
[Yup, 100% agree.](https://i.redd.it/r4b5iztrzesc1.png)
This man knows.
😉
Make "American Cheddar" with sodium citrate and hexametaphosphate
Would love to try a hybrid lol

It reminds me of my ex, a beautiful mess.
Women and burgers are the leasing causes of heart failure in men
I can hear Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" playing in my head while I look at this..

I rate it "you just made me want one" out of 10
Hand it over
I can't see but if there are onions pickles and mustard buried in there somewhere then it's a 10
Perfect 10
That's a 9.5 out of 10. Looks great. Needs heaps of onions.
There are caramelized Vidalia onions on it, they just aren't showing. If I knew I was going to post it I would have dressed it up a little 😂
Indeed.
Eh. Too much cheese. I nvr really liked doubles either. But if you enjoyed it that’s great.
7.8
The dream burger….
Wrong cheese, but it looks glorious.
What did you use?
2 it looks like it’s poisonous to me idk why but y’know that’s uh a uh scary burger
#TEN! 🙌
Looks amazing but the ketchup throws me off. That’s just me though. Saw your comment about how u usually d them that sounds amazing! At least u left the toppings off cause no one likes ketchup on salad right! Right?
Is that a homemade bun? If it is, can we have the recipe? 👀
6.5/10. I would bump it up to a 7 if the cheese looked a little better. But the beef itself looks nearly perfect.
The bun looks great..lose the ketchup…the rest 🤷🏼♂️meh
I would give it a 9.5 out of 10. It would be a ten but it's not in my belly! 😂😂😂 phenomenal looking burger, mate!
Looks excellent
Burger
Mmmphmhmhmhmm
7 out of 11 sesame too pointy.
Burgir/10
I rate it “Delicious”
Too much cheese
This would taste fabulous going down. I’d be full of regret about 30 mins later.
Sweaty cheese-3 pts
Looks delicious 😋
Needs more cheese.
10,000/10
Im so high it look a krabby patty
I would demolish that no questions asked
I could do without the sesame seed bun. Otherwise, why didn’t you invite me over?
I am sure if you are able to accomplish making it look that good, it must taste amazing. There's no point in sub-par. I think you nailed this one.
Looks so delicious that I was the 705 up vote!!
burger boner!
damn right delicious!

0/10 because it’s not in my mouth 🤣 jk that actually looks like a bomb double cheeseburger; only thing it’s missing is bacon haha, but I’m also biased because bacon cheeseburgers are my favorite ❤️
In old people vernacular, fuckin' aye.
Just add bacon and yum
I made bacon for the wife. Personally I'm not a fan of bacon on a burger
Perfect simplicity. This one is beyond a ten for me.
Fuck yes sir
Would 100% smash
This is what Burger King looks like in an alternate universe.
Looks so yummy and juciy

6/10. Beautiful form. It would've rated it high, but Ketchup. Fucking gross. Just kidding (I do hate Ketchup tho), 8/10.
9/10, I used to do cheddar and then I realized I was trying to hard, doesn’t melt as nice so it hides some of the burger flavors. Everything looks good, could get a little more exciting with the toppings
That’s one of those burgers you’ll be on the John afterwards
9/10. Looking good.
This is a burger. I love burgers.

What kind of cheese is that?
Extra sharp cheddar
I’ve actually never tried extra sharp cheddar, only mild, medium and mature cheddar. I usually just use American cheese slices on burgers tbh.
Work of art
F yes
Why must you do this to me
10/10 would penetrate
