Servings: 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients  

  • 1/2 lb. ground beef 80/20 blend
  • 4 potato rolls
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 4 lettuce leaves
  • 2 tomatoes sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup Shack Sauce
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Slice the tomatoes and rinse the lettuce. Set aside.
  • Make the sauce and refrigerate.
  • Butter and toast the burger buns until golden brown.
  • Heat a griddle over high heat and smash beef balls into flat 2 oz. patties. Season and cook for 2 minutes per side. Add cheese and melt.
  • Spread sauce on the bottom bun, then layer patty, tomato, lettuce. Top with the other bun half with more sauce.

Notes

  • Get a Good Smash. The key to the crispy edges is smashing the patty flat, quickly. Use a sturdy spatula and apply even pressure.
  • Chill Your Sauce: Let the Shack Sauce chill for 15-20 minutes in the fridge before eating it.
  • Customize Your Toppings. This is the classic Shack Burger recipe, but feel free to add pickles, onions, jalapeños, or bacon.
