While scrolling through TikTok recently, I came across a video claiming to have the “simplest dinner you’ll ever make.” Like many, I’ve found TikTok to be an excellent source for quick meal ideas, and this particular smash burger recipe caught my attention with its remarkable simplicity.
In a concise 22-second clip, content creator Shey Hutzler (@shey.hutz) demonstrates her streamlined approach to the perfect smash burger. The process begins with carefully prepped ground meat and perfectly sautéed onions. The signature technique involves expertly smashing the burgers within fresh lettuce leaves, creating that coveted “smash burger” texture. She completes each burger with thinly sliced tomatoes, crisp pickles, and melted white cheese layered over caramelized onions.

What truly elevates this meal is the thoughtful approach to accompaniments. Rather than defaulting to standard potato chips, she pairs the burger with an elegantly composed salad featuring crispy breadcrumbs and tender asparagus, proving that quick meals can be both wholesome and well-balanced.

Pro Tips
- Temperature is key: Your cooking surface must be extremely hot to achieve the perfect crust.
- Don’t overwork the meat: Loosely form balls to keep the texture light.
- Smash quickly: Smash immediately when the meat hits the hot surface for the best results.
- Double cheese: Adding cheese to both patties ensures maximum meltiness.
