Nate Goes On A NYC Burger Tour with George Motz | Cook Eat Repeat | Blackstone

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey reduces fat content while remaining flavorful.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: American cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories without sacrificing taste.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole wheat buns

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole wheat buns add fiber and nutrients.

ketchup

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: store-brand ketchup

Homemade sauce can be fresher and lower in sugar.

Set the flattop grill to high heat.

Take a ball of loosely packed fresh ground beef and drop it onto the hot grill.

Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the beef.

Add a big wad of thin sliced Vidalia onion on top of the beef.

Use a stiff heavy spatula to smash the beef ball until it's paper thin.

Cook for about 45 seconds on one side.

Flip the burger and place cheese on top immediately.

Add the crown of the bun on top of the cheese and the heel of the bun underneath.

Cook for another 30-45 seconds until the onions are caramelized around the edge of the burger.

Transfer the burger to the bun and add pickles if desired.
