Alabama White Sauce Smash Burger Recipe | Tangy BBQ Burger with Chef Tom

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

Alabama white sauce

🥗Healthier: yogurt-based dressing

💰Cheaper: mayonnaise

Yogurt dressing reduces calories, while mayonnaise is a cost-effective alternative.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese cuts calories, while processed cheese is budget-friendly.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain adds fiber, while white bread is often cheaper.

Slice the onions super thin and place them in a strainer with salt to draw out moisture.

Squeeze the moisture out of the onions after 30 minutes.

Make the Alabama white sauce by mixing mayonnaise, prepared horseradish, apple cider vinegar, Wild Flour honey, Meat Church Blanco seasoning, and Pitfire hot sauce.

Heat the griddle to 400°F and spray with duck fat.

Form the ground beef into thin patties and season with Meat Church Blanco seasoning.

Press the thin patties onto the griddle and add the prepared onions on top.

Flip the patties once a crust forms and top with white American cheese, then cover to melt the cheese.

Steam the patties by adding water to the griddle and covering with a dome.

Remove the steamed potato rolls from the grill.

Assemble the burger with Alabama white sauce, cooked onions, pickles, and the burger patty.
