Start by gathering all your ingredients for the Irresistible Smash Burger Recipe. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until it’s hot and ready.

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and pickle juice until smooth and creamy.

Take your ground beef and portion it into 2-ounce loose balls. Season each ball generously with salt and pepper.

Place the beef balls onto the hot surface and press down firmly on each ball to flatten it out, creating a patty about ¾ inch thick. Cook the patties for about 3 minutes until the edges turn crispy and browned.

Carefully flip the patties over and immediately place a slice of cheese on top of each patty, cooking for an additional minute.

Spread a generous amount of your prepared secret sauce on the bottom half of the toasted brioche buns. Stack the cheesy patties on top, then add fresh layers of lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles before placing the top bun on. Serve immediately.
