Epic Multi-Stacked Smash Burger Tower

Ingredients:

2 lbs ground beef (or plant-based ground meat for a vegetarian option)

8 burger buns

8 slices cheddar cheese

1 large onion, thinly sliced

1 tomato, sliced

8 lettuce leaves

1/4 cup ketchup

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tbsp mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions:

Preheat a large skillet or grill to medium-high heat.

Shape the ground beef into 8 small balls. Season with salt and pepper.

Place each beef ball in the skillet or on the grill and smash it down with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty.

While the patties cook, toast the buns in the skillet until golden.

In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard to make the sauce.

Assemble the burger tower: Start with a bun, then layer with a patty, a slice of tomato, a leaf of lettuce, and a few onion rings. Repeat the layers to create a towering stack of burgers.

Top with the final bun and secure with a skewer or toothpicks if needed.

Serve immediately and enjoy the epic tower!

Notes:

Add your favorite toppings like pickles, bacon (or plant-based bacon), or avocado to take this tower to the next level!
