Ingredients

56 ounces (3 1/2 pounds) ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
14 slices American cheese
14 small, soft hamburger buns
Serving suggestions: shredded lettuce, pickles and tomatoes

Steps:

Divide the beef into 2-ounce portions and form into balls; you will have 28.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Working in batches, place the beef balls on the surface and use a large spatula to smash them as flat as they can possibly go. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
Flip and immediately place a slice of cheese on half of the patties. Thirty seconds later, transfer the other patties onto the ones with the cheese. Wait a few seconds, then place on the buns. Keep going until you have 14 burgers.
Serve with lettuce, pickles and tomatoes on the side.

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons smoky barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon white vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck (80/20)
2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices American cheese
4 brioche buns
2 cups shredded green leaf lettuce
Diced red onion, for serving
Dill pickles, optional, for serving
8 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked, optional

Steps:

For the BBQ honey-mustard: Stir together the mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, honey and mustard in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
For the Miss Brown's burger sauce: Stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, sugar and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Cover both sauces and refrigerate until ready to use.
For the burgers: Shape the beef into 8 balls, about 3 ounces each. Heat a griddle or large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the butter and let melt. Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Place the beef balls, in batches if necessary, on the hot griddle and smash into flat discs with a burger press. (Smash each for about 10 seconds.) Repeat until all the burgers are smashed.
Cook for 2 minutes, then turn. Sprinkle the patties with a little more salt and pepper and smash again with the press. Cook until the patties are caramelized and browned, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Add the cheese and let stand until melted. Remove the patties from the griddle.
To assemble, spread the sauces on the tops and bottoms of the buns. Top with shredded lettuce, 2 meat patties, red onions, pickles and bacon, if using, and more sauce if you like it saucy. Place the remaining buns on top and serve.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 red bell peppers, sliced
1 large onion, sliced
Pinch plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch plus 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1/2 cup pizza sauce
2 pounds (80/20) ground beef
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casing removed
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried ground sage
6 slices provolone
6 semolina rolls, split and toasted
Torn fresh basil, for topping

Steps:

Preheat a grill to medium heat.
Pour the olive oil into a large skillet over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the bell pepper and onion, then sprinkle with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until just softened, about 1 more minute. Stir in the pizza sauce and 1/2 cup water, then simmer until thickened but still saucy, about 5 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
Combine the beef, sausage, oregano, sage and remaining teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix with your hands until well combined. Form into six patties, about 1 inch thick and 4 1/2 inches wide.
Grill the patties until cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes per side. Top each with a slice of cheese during the last 1 to 2 minutes and cover to melt.
Serve the burgers on the rolls and top with the pepper and onion sauce, then add the fresh basil.
