Smashed Hamburgers with Caramelized Onions
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Easy
Total: 55 min (includes freezing time)
Active: 40 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
Canola or grapeseed oil
4 cups (1/4-inch) sliced red onions (2 medium)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon good red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard powder, such as Colman’s
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds ground beef with 20% fat
1 1/4 cups grated Gruyère cheese (4 ounces)
4 sandwich potato rolls, such as Martin’s
Ketchup, for serving
Directions
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large (12-inch) sauté pan over medium heat, add the onions, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and starting to brown. Add the sugar, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned and caramelized. Add the vinegar and cook for 30 seconds to deglaze the pan.
Meanwhile, combine the dry mustard, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Place the ground beef in a medium bowl and sprinkle on the mustard mixture. With your fingers, lightly work the mustard into the beef and shape into four 1-inch-thick patties. Place them on a plate and freeze for exactly 15 minutes.
Heat a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. From the freezer, place the burgers directly in the hot skillet. With a large metal spatula, firmly press each burger into the pan. Cook the burgers for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, without moving them, so the bottoms get browned and crusty. Flip the burgers, then spoon on the onions and sprinkle the Gruyère on top. Place a lid on the skillet and cook the burgers for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the burgers are medium-rare inside. Place one burger on each roll and serve hot with ketchup on the side.

What is that tool you use when adding like 1 table spoon of sugar or anything else, the thing that has 3 different size spoons ? Seems handy for measuring herbs and what not.
Also no way the burger were done, in the middle they sure have been pink, which no1 should ever eat if there is pig meat in it, cause your eating alive parasites.

Is it me or are none of the burners on when she is sautéing the onions?

Crap. I froze mine 15:30 and they were ruined.

Great burgers Ina. Some people just make them into a buried up mess.

Definitely not a smashburger. The patties and a smashburger get flattened so much that you can put two or three on

It's obvious that she can't grasp the concept of a 'smash' burger, because that's NOT what she made. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

I would cook them well-done, because eating raw meat is a wee bit dangerous, if you ask me. But the cheese and onions? Perfect! And potato bread is so good!

Only Ina can make smashed burgers which aren't smashed burgers and get away with it.

I’ve made these before but I don’t freeze the patties since I prefer a well done burger. I also add a bit of mayo and A-1 to my burger. Really good!

Raw undercooked hamburger meat will lead to Hamburger disease, which is a type of “food poisoning” or “foodborne disease”, caused by a strain of E. coli bacteria, called O157:H7.

Lightly smooshed. Not smashed.

Ina makes some fire food but this is an absolute insult to the thin lacy crust that is a smash burger

Can you use the freeze technique for 15 minutes on a steak also?

This woman is pure drama. This is why you don’t take cooking advice from uppity women in the Hamptons. Ain’t nothing ‘bout this a “smashed” burger!

I need my burger cooked through..not burnt just cooked. ☺️

I can so see why Americans all have diabetes and are overweight!! Sugar in your dinner??? So many recipes and celebrity cooks these days I’m seeing pushing sugar in main meals… you don’t need sugar in onions if you cook them slowly enough.. they are literally sugar anyway… This is like my calorie intake for a week along with the double carb of potatoes and bread!! … this should come with a health warning!!

This burger looks fabulous regardless of how smashed it may or may not be smashed.

Bits on the bottom of the pan could be used in a meatloaf or meatballs. Flavor is already there.

She really didn't smash the burgers, but still look good,

Everything about this is wrong. Except using 80/20 beef. If you salt your beef before cooking you will get hard, not juicy at all, baseballs. Ina, I could start a little league team with those burgers. If you set those burgers on a hill they’d beat you to the bottom. If you follow this recipe you will be wondering what you did wrong, and it’s not your fault. Why did she freeze them? I’m just, I…what

Yeah that's not a typical "smashed burger" and they're raw not rare😞

Sautéed onions, melted cheese, and beef patty- now that’s what I call it a solid sandwich
