Double Bacon Cheese Smash Burger
Here's a great recipe to make smash burgers on your own from home. The ground beef starts out in ball form and is then "smashed" onto the flattop to take the shape of a patty. This gives you an unbelievable crust full of flavor that you usually can't get on a grill. Add in onions, bacon, American cheese, and some homemade sauce, and you'll have one of the best, soon to be World Famous, burgers you've ever put in your mouth.

- 1 Onion (Thinly sliced)

- 2 tablespoons Black Pepper

Add the salt, pepper, and garlic powder into the ground meat in a large bowl. Gently mix and form 4oz. balls form the meat.
Cook the bacon.
Place the meat balls on the hot grill and top with the sliced onions. Smash into patties using a spatula of bacon press. Hold for about 10 seconds to get that good sear started.
After about 3-4 minutes check the patties to see if they are done searing. When they are, flip them to the onion side.
Cut the bacon slices in half, and place 2 pieces on each of the patties.
