Burger sauce or mayo
Instructions

4. Season generously with salt and pepper.
5. Cook for 2–3 minutes until edges are crispy and browned.
6. Flip each patty, place a slice of cheese on top, and cook another 1–2 minutes until melted.

Use two thin patties per burger for a classic double-smash style.
Try topping with caramelized onions or jalapeños for a spicy twist.
