Roll burger in a ball. Season
Turn over burger and smash with an 8 in cast iron. Bottom coated with tinfoil
Season top side
Time 3 minutes
Turn over
2 more minutes
Place on bun or bread
Top with cheese, onion and other condiments.

We'll see how it goes.

So it sounds great Ken.  I love a good burger.  I like the cook in cast iron thing too.  BUT why do you need a pan to flatten the meat into a burger?  Just a fun cool thing to do?  And I can see that.

It was OK.....basically tasted like a pan fried burger. I still like a good burger on the grill better. I might not have had the pan hot enough to get a real good char.

Anyone made these this way themselves?

You want it really flat. Like an 1/8 in thick, yet hold it's shape.
