MOUNTAIN STATE SMASH BURGER

 
 

What’s a smash burger? A smash burger is a burger pressed and smashed with a burger press into a thin patty as soon as it is placed on the grill. This helps to elevate the flavor and create additional browning as the patty remains juicy. Making a smashburger is perfect to combine with delicious Mountain State Ground Beef!
