Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 440kcal
- 1 lb extra-lean ground beef
- 1/2 tsp each salt & pepper
- 4 cheddar cheese slices
- 4 potato buns or sandwich rolls
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1 lettuce
- 1 bag frozen crinkle cut fries (to serve, optional)
Shack Sauce
- 1/2 cup light mayo
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp pickle brine
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Mix the ingredients together for the Shack sauce and, if serving, bake crinkle cut fries in the oven according to package directions.
Add salt & pepper to ground beef and mix together in a large bowl. Form 4 even round balls of beef.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over med-high heat. Add balls, then press down to "smash" into patties. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook another 2 minutes. Add 1 cheese slice to each burger, then place lid over the skillet to let the cheese melt and remove from heat.
Remove burger patties from skillet, and wipe the pan clean with a paper towel. Butter the potato buns. Place in skillet, then add back to med-high heat, waiting until buns are lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
Add burger patties to each bun, then top with tomato, lettuce and Shack sauce. Serve alongside crinkle cut fries if desired, then serve and enjoy!
Note: Nutritional info does not include fries, just the burger and sauce.
Make these burgers low-carb by using lettuce wraps or portobello mushroom caps instead of burger buns.
Add on an egg, avocado, condiments and any other toppings of your choice.
Serve with a side of fries, salad or coleslaw.
Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave, on the stovetop or in the oven.
Freeze the burger patties for up to 4 months. Defrost in the fridge then reheat.
