We do Smash Burgers with onions sometimes. Those are great tasting burgers but takes a little more time to prepare and cook.

Not sure why it takes time as basically, it is a ball of meat then crushed down with a weight to fatten. Would cook faster.

The recipe we use is chopped onions under the thin burger using a flat iron. Gotta be in a cast iron skillet or grill.

Okay... I got inspired from following the thread. I prepared my version of bbq-ed bacon cheeseburgers on Friday night. First time using the newer gas bbq. Here was the result. We could barely finish them (actually, I was the only one who did and required a generous hit of Alka Selzer at bed time...:

I didn't even weigh the burgers, just grabbed - as I usually do - fairly large handfuls, shaped and cooked them. No complaints except L told me she would have preferred a bit more flavour inside the meat itself. Next time, Lawry's sprinkled inside will do the trick.

I found "brioche" buns at S & R. Interestingly, the only cheeses they had there were sliced "processed" cheese "food." Unless I wanted to buy a kg of mozzarella or gouda or some super expensive imported European cheese. No Farmer John's, no Bega either. Slim pickins there for cheese this time.

My favourite part almost was watching us all try to eat them without making a big mess - to me, that means "great burgers!" And this was done with hands only, no knives, forks or spoons!

I buy .5-1kg of decent cheese when I find it, cut into portions, seal and freeze. Doesn't work with soft cheese but works well with the hard ones. They say it lasts for 9 months but I've never gotten that far.
