Smash Burgers Off the Grill

Method

1. Make the Sauce: In the 1.5 QT Ingenio Saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients and stir until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve
2. Prep the Burgers: Divide the beef into 2 loosely packed balls. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Fire Up the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat. Place the 10.5" Ingenio Sauté Pan directly on the grill grates and allow it to heat for 3–5 minutes.
4. Smash and Cook: Place the beef balls into the hot sauté pan and firmly smash them with a spatula until thin. Cook for 2–3 minutes until a crust forms, then flip and top with cheese. Cook for another minute until melted.
5. Toast the Buns: Butter the buns and lightly toast them on the grill until golden.
6. Assemble: Spread the burger sauce on each bun and top with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and a smashed burger patty.
7. Serve, Enjoy, Store: Serve the burgers directly from the Ingenio Sauté Pan at the table. Once the meal is over, simply attach the storage lid to save leftovers for later—no need to transfer food into additional containers.
