Ingredients
For the Smash Burger:
1 lb ground beef (80/20)
Salt, pepper, garlic powder
4 slices cheddar or American cheese
4 slices cooked bacon
2 soft brioche burger buns
Butter (for toasting buns)
Caramelized onions (optional but )
For the Special Sauce:
¼ cup mayo
1 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp mustard
1 tbsp relish or chopped pickles
Dash of smoked paprika
Pinch of sugar
For the Fries:
3 large russet potatoes, cut into wedges
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
For the BBQ Wings:
1½ lbs chicken wings
Salt, pepper, garlic powder
1 tbsp baking powder (for crispiness)
½ cup BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Optional: honey or hot sauce for a sticky-sweet twist
Instructions1. Make the Fries:
Toss potato wedges with oil and seasonings. Bake at 425°F for 30–35 mins, flipping halfway until crispy and golden. Garnish with parsley if you’re fancy
2. Bake or Air-Fry the Wings:
Pat wings dry and toss with seasonings + baking powder. Bake at 425°F for 45–50 mins or air fry at 400°F for 25 mins.
Toss in BBQ sauce (and honey or hot sauce if desired). Return to oven or air fryer for 5 more mins to caramelize
3. Mix the Sauce:
Stir all special sauce ingredients together until smooth. Chill until ready to use.
4. Smash the Burgers:
Heat skillet/griddle to high heat. Roll ground beef into 2 oz balls, place on the pan, and smash flat with a spatula.
Season and cook 2–3 mins, then flip, add cheese, and cook another 1–2 mins.
Toast buns with butter until golden.
5. Build the Burger:
Bottom bun → special sauce → 2 patties w/ cheese → bacon → onions → more sauce → top bun. Stack it HIGH.
6. Plate It Up:
Load that plate with the burger, fries on one side, wings on the other. Serve hot and messy just how it should be
Pro Tip:
Add jalapeños, a fried egg, or even onion rings to the burger if you wanna go completely unhinged ️
