- [Narrator] There are a lot of different ways

I think it's important all parts of the recipe fit together

Because of this, I think it can be helpful

They call for different techniques and even ingredients.

I'm gonna go through two different cheeseburger recipes,

For the thin patty burger, I'm making a slider

with just a few less expensive ingredients.

First thing, I'm slicing up some white onion pretty thin.

For me, I'm just using regular ground beef that is 80/20,

so you don't end up with a dry, flavorless burger.

I'm using an eighth of a pound, which is about 55 grams.

It's probably best to grind your own meat,

A really popular technique for making thin patty burgers

is to smash them, making it a Smashburger.

When done right, like this one from Burgers Never Say Die,

but really doing them well at home can be difficult.

You need the right tools, and if you're using a spatula,

to get it to smash down quickly and form that special crust.

I'm using cast iron because it retains heat well,

I put some butter down and placed the sliced onions on top

because we want them to caramelize a little.

It doesn't take very long to cook, only a minute or so.

I use American cheese because it melts really fast,

which is great for this, and I think it tastes good.

I kind of mop up some of the fat from the burger

Adding water and covering helps melt the cheese faster

Then I kind of shove the onions on top of the melted cheese

so I can just pull it off all in one thing.

That's all there is to it: really just four ingredients,

Mustard or pickles would be a good addition,

since the bun and the onions are both sweet.

You can definitely use a different cheese,

but it can be tough to melt it fast enough

For the bread, I wouldn't use Hawaiian rolls,

and don't really hold up to the weight of the thick patty.

Even most grocery store bonds like this potato one

So I'm using this fancy bun I got at this place

that makes them specifically for their own burgers.

This is a regular cheddar, but really sharp cheddar as well.

You want a good, thick slice to balance things out,

and since the burger is going to cook longer,

you can have a cheese that takes longer to melt

We're gonna do onions on this burger as well,

making thicker slices to get these rings,

a sauce is really gonna help balance everything out

except I'm going to make the mayonnaise from scratch.

I'm gonna use one or two cloves of garlic.

This one's pretty big, so I'm just doing one.
