How to Make Smash Burgers on a Weber Kettle

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is lower in fat, while ground pork is often less expensive.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: American cheese

Reduced-fat cheese saves calories, while American cheese is often cheaper.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain buns add fiber, while white bread can be more affordable.

pickles

🥗Healthier: cucumber slices

💰Cheaper: no pickles

Cucumber slices provide freshness without the added sodium of pickles.

Preheat the Weber Kettle to a searing surface temperature of around 600°F (315°C).

Form the mince beef into balls.

Place the balls on the hot surface and smash them down with a metal spatula to create a crust.

Cook until the desired doneness is reached, scraping the burgers off the plate carefully to maintain the crust.
