Brother, there's 100's of smash burger videos on UA-cam, but like I told when we talked. You have a great way of explaining instructions and not over complicating things with some special type of beef, bun, spices or cooking device. Great video and I'm working on compiling a list of BBQ names to send ya!!
Great video, Hussey! My brother was a chef and told me about slicing up whole pickles for burgers, too! Still do it to this day. The pickles slices aren't overly briny, like they are if you buy sliced pickles in a jar. Good crunch to them that really goes great with the burger.
I’ve always done 4 oz of beef for my smash burgers but yeah they are too big. I did 2.75 oz last night and they were the best burgers I’ve ever had. Thanks hungry, love your videos!!
Got my first blackstone for Christmas, started looking up recipes you were the first one that popped up been watching all of your old videos too wife's is loving al the food! Thank you so much!
I'm from Missouri originally but now live in Michigan so I'm trying to bring some of the south to my wife and kids so yes your videos have helped a lot!
Finally a worthy smash burger video. Great tip on weight of the burger balls. Sometimes I'll buy the 16 ounce package of 80/20 and I'll break that into 6 balls, about 2.7 ounces each. I do weigh mine so they are all uniform. Martins potato rolls or sometimes a brioche roll on the griddle with a wee bit of butter or mayo and lightly toasted. Very hot griddle is key. And you're correct, things happen fast, so have your buns prepped with your condiments before you get to smashing. We always do two patties per sandwich. Also a good tip using parchment paper when smashing. Kraft Deluxe my go-to as well. Love that you mentioned seeing some holes thru the burger patty after smashing. A great indicator that you smashed them well. My son has serious gluten issues so we use a couple pieces of iceberg lettuce as a wrap. A bit messy but it actually is mighty good. Thanks for the video.
Matthew, I'm so glad you haven't sold your soul to the ceramic non-stick PB griddles. Nothing better than cold rolled steel for a flat top. A little maintenance is a big payoff!! You are definitely best at the Smash Burgers!! Happy New Year, Melaney from SoCal
Love this comment. I used to watch the twins but the one guy moving side to side all the time and the wrist snapping drove us nuts. Switching griddles was three strikes, have not watched them since switching griddles
I give you all props man, i tried your roasted potatoes and sausage recipe on the griddle and it was immaculate, i added some chicken breasts on the side and it was perfect…. Your the best✊🏿✊🏿
I sure appreciate your tips, I’ve been cooking some great food on my Blackstone! My smash burgers have been a big hit with friends and family thanks to you!
My grandma made smash burgers in the 60s and 70s in a cast iron skillet on top the stove. We did not call them smash-burgers they were just grandmas cheeseburgers , everybody loved them. She passed in 1982 but would be so surprised that they are popular now.
I just picked up a Lodge burger press down at Lanier's in Lexington. Looking forward to our first smash burgers tonight. My Blackstone is the best Christmas gift I've gotten in a long time.
Ol' Hussey smashed this video as much as he smashed those burger patties. Since I am now in a smashing mood, I'mma smash the Like button three times!!! Thanks for the awesome video, Matthew. Hope you and the family are enjoying the heck out of this new year so far. Peace, my brother!
This is going to be my first cook on my new grill. Seasoned it using your video except I gave it 5 seasoning cycles. Can’t wait for tomorrow. Going to add ions and peppers and bacon too.
My kitchen is full of kitchen tools now, I am out of space. So I just use the bottom of a small pot to smash my burgers. Works as good as anything. FWIW.
My father in law gave me his black stone as a house warming gift. So far I’ve done Nathan’s hot dogs. They tasted great on it. I’m going to do smash burgers this sunday
Long time viewer as well as long term BS user. But the tips are good for all of us no matter how long you’ve been cooking on Blackstone. But using the measuring cup is excellent idea! Appreciate it
I think you need "burger sauce" that you can make yourself. I would suggest frying up some diced up onions cooked on the flat top as well and add them at the time you add the cheese on top.
I got a new, bigger BS for Christmas and hubby's favorite meal is hamburgers. For his birthday every year he asks for burgers, potato salad and coleslaw. (Think KFC style) I think we will be having a smash burger party for 30. I think I will enlist someone to man the 22" and toast buns. Love warm, toasted buns. BTW, love the mayonnaise - lots of it. :)
Hi, can you do a video on how to make smash burgers on a blackstone griddle? I looked all over youtube and i can't believe it but nobody ever made such a video yet. also mac & cheese, would love a video on that too because yet again, nobody has thought of this yet
I’ve done a few. Here’s a video - How to Cook Smash Burgers on the Blackstone Griddle - The Perfect Burger Every Time! ua-cam.com/video/bdbuQq_9fBc/v-deo.html
Do you have an IR temperature reader to know how hot your grill top is? I tried my first smash burger last night and I don't think my griddle was hot enough. It is a Tytus insert for a gas grill so that also may be more difficult to get really smokin hot. I've taken out the grill grate on one side along with the bars that cover the flames, this allowed it to drop down lower and get closer more direct heat for my next attempt. I also used 4oz. of meat so I'll cut that down also.
Yum! First time i had a smash burger was in Switzerland, 2015. Didn't know what i was seeing. Never been able to match it even doing it myself ... but yours look pretty close. Good health to you and yours sir!
Just bought the pro series 4 burner from Walmart for $349 on clearance.. I just made smash burgers two nights ago and MAN!! why I have I been eating thick burgers patties all my life? even putting two smash patties as a double decker, was way better than a thick patty. Also, was curious if it is normal to see a slight bow in the middle of the flat top when on high heat? When I say slight, I mean hardly even noticeable.. but there. goes away when cools down. thanks for the video...subscribed!
@The Hungry Hussey thanks for the reply. I've cooked a few more times and still have the slight bowl toward the middle, but honestly, it isn't enough that hinders any cooking. I love it so far.
Matt... That look on your face after that second bite. You know you don't make that look for most of the foods you do.... There's just something about a good cheeseburger... and I can identify with that look!
Hi Matthew, I saw in one of your videos that you made a burger with some stuff inside and then closed it with another slice of burger, can you remember which video was it ? I want to see it again
Just got my first Blackstone griddle. I heard you say make the grill nice and hot, get the smoke rolling before throwing the burgers on. How hot are we talking (medium, medium-high)?
I like to put the mushrooms down on a med-heat with no oil at first. Then add some butter and some salt and pepper. A little balsamic vinegar at the end isn't bad either.
Can't go wrong with the smashburger. Always a hit at my house. I like to use a mandolin and get some thin onions on the griddle smashed in the burgers. Top with bacon and use a keto bun,, Son whatcha talking bout Willis?!
Brother, there's 100's of smash burger videos on UA-cam, but like I told when we talked. You have a great way of explaining instructions and not over complicating things with some special type of beef, bun, spices or cooking device. Great video and I'm working on compiling a list of BBQ names to send ya!!
I appreciate that! Looking forward to our next exchange!
Excellent. Never trust a skinny chef, which is why I trust you so so much.
I appreciate that!
Fitness is key. Paul Saladino would be rolling over in his animal based organic coffin
Ouch Bro!
That's some genuine tough love right there...
Just made my 1st smash burger... double cheese on a buttered and toasted onion roll...
Good stuff!!!
How can I do these successfully without parchment paper?
The crust on that Burger was amazing, Nicely done!
Thanks so much!
Great video, Hussey! My brother was a chef and told me about slicing up whole pickles for burgers, too! Still do it to this day. The pickles slices aren't overly briny, like they are if you buy sliced pickles in a jar. Good crunch to them that really goes great with the burger.
Cool story about the pickles! Glad to hear someone else that has cred doing it. 😂
I’ve always done 4 oz of beef for my smash burgers but yeah they are too big. I did 2.75 oz last night and they were the best burgers I’ve ever had. Thanks hungry, love your videos!!
That 2.5 - 3oz is a good size for sure. Glad I was of help to you!
Made 4 oz last night, never again. Double smashburgers but they ended up being half pound beasts. 3 oz is the wayyyyy
Got my first blackstone for Christmas, started looking up recipes you were the first one that popped up been watching all of your old videos too wife's is loving al the food! Thank you so much!
That's awesome Larry, I'm glad you found me my friend! Hope you enjoy and get something great out of the content!
I'm from Missouri originally but now live in Michigan so I'm trying to bring some of the south to my wife and kids so yes your videos have helped a lot!

Thanks so much for your honest feedback. I really appreciate it. Have a great day!
I'll have mine with mustard, chili, slaw and onions. You're the best griddler ever!
I like that Carolina Classic too my friend!
Matthew, I'm so glad you haven't sold your soul to the ceramic non-stick PB griddles. Nothing better than cold rolled steel for a flat top. A little maintenance is a big payoff!! You are definitely best at the Smash Burgers!! Happy New Year, Melaney from SoCal
Thanks Melaney for the kind words. I have no reason to go to others, I love my Blackstones!
Love this comment. I used to watch the twins but the one guy moving side to side all the time and the wrist snapping drove us nuts. Switching griddles was three strikes, have not watched them since switching griddles
After his partnership with the BS channel I said to myself "whew, no pit boss non stick here."
The ceramic non stick is what I have switched to from the Blackstone and because now I am not a slave to it. Also, no more rust.
PB griddle is the best way to go so sell that soul baby you want look back
I give you all props man, i tried your roasted potatoes and sausage recipe on the griddle and it was immaculate, i added some chicken breasts on the side and it was perfect…. Your the best✊🏿✊🏿
I sure appreciate your tips, I’ve been cooking some great food on my Blackstone! My smash burgers have been a big hit with friends and family thanks to you!
I really appreciate you too for watching and commenting. It means a lot. I'm happy you're making some Good Groceries!
Just tried this tonight. Using the 1/4 cup is genius! lol. Perfect patties grilled to perfection. So good. Many thanks for the video! Blessings.
Glad you enjoyed it my friend. Really appreciate it.
Best looking smash burger I ever seen. Im making some today and needed a tutorial to get it all the way down. I think this is gonna do it. Thanks
Hope you enjoyed your smashburger goodness!!!!
Just tried these on the Blackstone I got for Christmas. Fantastic. Honestly a little mad just how much better they are smashed than thick style.
They're so dang good!
My grandma made smash burgers in the 60s and 70s in a cast iron skillet on top the stove. We did not call them smash-burgers they were just grandmas cheeseburgers , everybody loved them. She passed in 1982 but would be so surprised that they are popular now.
She could have been the pioneer of the phenomenon known as the smash burger! I bet that was min blowing back then!
That's awesome
It’s not were it’s at until we’re sitting down with you and enjoying,great job,thanks
Thanks so much!
I just picked up a Lodge burger press down at Lanier's in Lexington. Looking forward to our first smash burgers tonight. My Blackstone is the best Christmas gift I've gotten in a long time.
Cannot go wrong with that one either! Love Lanier's!
Excellent job, Matt! The only thing I would do different would be put two patties on that burger… Now that there’s some good groceries!
Thank you I will be making my first smash burger , watching his video now I'm thinking well I can actually do it.
Hope you enjoy!~
My Mom use to have an old wooden hamburger press. I've got to see if my dad still has it. I'm now hungry for a smash burger! Yum! Thanks
Very informative video!
I've been wrapping my smasher with non stick aluminum foil.
It works greatà
That’s a great idea!!!
Ol' Hussey smashed this video as much as he smashed those burger patties. Since I am now in a smashing mood, I'mma smash the Like button three times!!! Thanks for the awesome video, Matthew. Hope you and the family are enjoying the heck out of this new year so far. Peace, my brother!
I've been looking around youtube for advice, and your burgers look the best. I'll give these a shot soon. Thanks!
Tried them the other day. Family loved em, thanks!
This is going to be my first cook on my new grill. Seasoned it using your video except I gave it 5 seasoning cycles. Can’t wait for tomorrow. Going to add ions and peppers and bacon too.
Sounds great!
Matt you nailed it ! Great advice and guidance for smash burger 101. Thanks forever sharing. Cheers my friend
Great job, this guy is down to earth and relatable
Thanks so much my friend!
My kitchen is full of kitchen tools now, I am out of space. So I just use the bottom of a small pot to smash my burgers. Works as good as anything. FWIW.
The best thing to use is what you have on hand for sure! Good tip!
Yes Sir, fellow Tarheel. (Though I am really an ECU Pirate. @@thehungryhussey
Thanks, Matt. Big fan here! I hope you have a great New Year. Looking forward to many great videos this year!
Thanks Jim! Looking forward to the new year!
Thank you sir, I'm making these tomorrow haha
Hope you enjoy!
Smash burgers are always a winner at my house. Thanks for the video and GRIDDLE ON DUDE.
Thanks Bruno!
Worked great! Got a new subscriber out of this!
Thanks for the sub!
Matt thanks for the videos! I just order a burger smasher from your link. I have been looking for one without the grooves or lip. Thanks!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you for your support!
My father in law gave me his black stone as a house warming gift. So far I’ve done Nathan’s hot dogs. They tasted great on it. I’m going to do smash burgers this sunday
That's a great gift for sure! Enjoy your smashburgers!
Great Job! Thanks. for the helpful tips
Glad it was helpful!

Great vid. Ever tried the sauce I think it’s mayo ketchup and hot sauce mix for smash burgers?
Great video!! Gonna try this tonight for 1st time ✌🏻
Did it work?
Yes sir l! Thank u
I just followed your instructions and they came out great!!
Glad you like them!
Blackstones and smashburgers. A perfect match.
I’ll be trying them this weekend
Enojoy!
Good looking burgers Hussey! I am going to get one of those burger smashers.
They seem to work the best for me at this time. There's some others that are stainless, but I've not tired them.
I honestly wish you were my next door neighbour. Love watching and learning from your vids.
Hussley!!
Smash burger pimp!!!
Hilarious!!
Those burgers looked good.
Great way to start off the new year!!
Did Maggie get some of that meat?
Oh yeah, she got her a nibble!
Awesome Video! Great job man Thank you. Making these right now
Glad you like them!
Long time viewer as well as long term BS user. But the tips are good for all of us no matter how long you’ve been cooking on Blackstone. But using the measuring cup is excellent idea! Appreciate it
Watching you eating those...yup I'm making smash burgers tonight!
They're so dang good!
I’m all about those crispy bits! So yummy👍😊
That's the best!
Best teacher out there !!!
You’re too kind my friend. Thank you!
Very helpful thank you
You're welcome!
I will be trying them for sure. My motto is if you fail you try again
Love your videos. Just got a 22.5 inch Blackstone tabletop grill for Christmas
Super video on your perspective on cooking smash burgers on the Blackstone. How about having your daughter cook some groceries with you a bit more. 👍😊
I typically do these while the kids are at school, but usuaully if shooting while here they like to help.
Good Video Brother…Blessings Always!
Thank you for all the support!
Thanks for aharing this man! Ive felt intimidated to try them but im going to have to get to it.
I think you need "burger sauce" that you can make yourself. I would suggest frying up some diced up onions cooked on the flat top as well and add them at the time you add the cheese on top.
I mean, that's the beauty about cooking is making it your own. This is the foundation then you make it your own. Thanks for watching!
That 20mm lens gives your video 3d pop. First time i've noticed this in any video on youtube.
Thanks man. I’ve actually switched systems from that setup since then.
I make my hamburgers in a pancake maker, and I use a milk jug to mash them!!!
It works the same!!!^^
Nice man .
I always feel in such a hurry when I make the smash burgers. Thanks for the tips! Good groceries
Totally smashing it Hussey!
haha.. Thanks Spike!
I got a new, bigger BS for Christmas and hubby's favorite meal is hamburgers.
For his birthday every year he asks for burgers, potato salad and coleslaw. (Think KFC style)
I think we will be having a smash burger party for 30.
I think I will enlist someone to man the 22" and toast buns. Love warm, toasted buns.
BTW, love the mayonnaise - lots of it. :)
I like them toasted too sometimes, but also like that steamed type also. It's so soft and pillowy.
Thanks for a great video. Do you use any oil before putting the burgers down?
Most times I do not as the burgers have enough fat in them.
I want some of those. Looks majestic. 🤤
Matt, two things: Have you tried Dukes Bacon/Tomato Mayo (YOW GOOD!) and the video quality is noticeably better these days (WAY TO GO!)
Trying this tonight
Enjoy!
Wow That Looks Real Good I'm Hungry 😀😀😀
Thanks Dale!
Thank you dude!
You're welcome my friend! Hope you enjoy!
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Awesome stuff dude
Thanks a ton!
Looks BANGING
Thanks bud! It was!

You're giving me a Blackstone for Christmas?!?!? I'm still waiting for you to deliver it........wait is it coming from that opera lady?!?!?!?!?!?

Interesting had them in Switzerland. Try this out, you'll like it I'm sure.

Interesting. Depends on the how high heat and other atmosphere items guess it could. Never had that happen to me.
@The Hungry Hussey thanks for the reply. I've cooked a few more times and still have the slight bowl toward the middle, but honestly, it isn't enough that hinders any cooking. I love it so far.
Thanks Buddy!
Thank you my friend for watching!
I wish I didnt have diabetes ..these look really good ..
Keto buns maybe? Or just the meat?
Make them but instead of the bread wrap them with lettuce. It’s not quite the same but it cuts most of the sugar out of the burger.
Thanks man! Just got my Blackstone for Father’s Day! I am giving this recipe a try tonight for dinner for the family!👍🏻🤞
Nice!!! Congrats and welcome to Griddle Nation!! Enjoy your griddle and hope you enjoyed the smash burgers.
@@thehungryhussey Thank man! We have used it like 4 times in 5 days!!!
Once again making it look easy. Job well done!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
10/10 brother.❤
Thanks so much!
Blackstone 36 inch griddle almost fully sold out in Australia coming up to Christmas
They are a big deal down here now
That’s awesome!!
Smash burger - pimp! 😅 Heck yea!!
Great video as always!!
Question... are you using 4k cameras now? Everything is so crystal clear!!
♨️ Keep on Grillin' ♨️
Sincerely,
DanInKnoxville
Hulk smash!!! Smashed burgers 🍔 are the best!
That's right!
Hell I wish I had a blackstone lol even if it’s a countertop lol
I'm sure you'll love it my friend!
Totally delicious.
Love them smash burgers 😋
Waiting for your restaurant to open!!!
Oh my! That business is so tough. Might just keep it here.
@@thehungryhussey ☹️!
80/20 or go to butcher and get a special mix of brisket and short rib? I had a friend get some special mix and his burgers were very good
Matt... That look on your face after that second bite. You know you don't make that look for most of the foods you do.... There's just something about a good cheeseburger... and I can identify with that look!
I love burgers and these were fantastic .
Looks awesome,do you season your ground meat? Your griddle look,s so clean and seasoned show us your secret again!
I season the meat after the smash. Can also season the ball before smash.
Hi Matthew, I saw in one of your videos that you made a burger with some stuff inside and then closed it with another slice of burger, can you remember which video was it ? I want to see it again
Just got my first Blackstone griddle. I heard you say make the grill nice and hot, get the smoke rolling before throwing the burgers on. How hot are we talking (medium, medium-high)?
You want 450-500 degrees here. So, you’ll be Med-high to high.
Oil or no oil put down before smash burgers?
Did you ever change the temp from low? You didn’t mention just that it was smoking
Yeah, I did.
Thank you. For an encore: my mom's favorite burger was the mushroom and swiss. How do you properly saute mushrooms for the burgers, please?
I like to put the mushrooms down on a med-heat with no oil at first. Then add some butter and some salt and pepper. A little balsamic vinegar at the end isn't bad either.
@@thehungryhussey Excellent, thank you!
Do you oil the flat top prior to putting the meat on or just cook with nothing?
No, I don't with smash burgers.
Do you use oil or butter on the griddle right before you smash ? And how long before you flip ?
I usually do not. The 80/20 provides a good amount of oil.
You make a fine smashburger, Mr Hussey!!
american foods looks like so delicious.
Can't go wrong with the smashburger. Always a hit at my house. I like to use a mandolin and get some thin onions on the griddle smashed in the burgers. Top with bacon and use a keto bun,, Son whatcha talking bout Willis?!
Right on! I like that non-bun thing! Good groceries!
Oh I like the lettuce burger but when I need a bun I get keto buns
