Quick Fix: Smash burgers perfect for Labor Day weekend

Smash burgers are all the rage. They’re ground beef rolled into balls, and smashed with a burger press into thin patties. This creates a large surface for extra browning and flavor. The thin patties cook in 3 to 4 minutes. For this recipe, you don’t need a special press. You can place the burgers between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and flatten them with bottom of a frying pan or pot. They’re a perfect dinner to celebrate Labor Day weekend or for anytime you want a burger.

Dimple (make an indent with your finger) in the center of the patties to help stop shrinkage when cooking.

I doctored bought coleslaw with tomato salsa for the side.
