Equipment

  • Blackstone Griddle Accessories - 12 Inch Round Basting Cover
  • Blackstone 4-Burner 36" Griddle Cooking Station
  • BBQ Heavy Duty Spatula Scraper Cleaning Kit

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Form the ground beef into 12 round even balls.
  • Bring your griddle to medium high. Add the butter and oil. When the butter melts and the oil begins to smoke you are ready to cook.
  • Place your meat on the griddle, use your spatula to smash them hard to flatten on the cooking surface. 
  • Season aggressively with salt and pepper.
  • Flip your burgers when the edges of the patties begin to brown.  Season again with salt and pepper.
  • When the patties are close to being cooked through, add a piece of cheese to the top of each patty. 
  • When the burgers are done and the cheese is melted remove from the griddle.
  • Add two patties to each bun and enjoy.

Notes

You can speed up the cheese melting process by using a squeeze bottle to spray a small amount of water onto the grill and then cover with a metal bowl or cover to trap the steam.
