- Heat a cast iron pan over high heat or heat a flat top to at least 450ºF.

Notes
- For optimal flavor, we recommend using high-quality ground beef.
- We don’t add any moisture or oil to the pan before searing to get the crispy edges of the smash burger.
- We cook 2 patties at a time to avoid crowding the pan.
- There will be extra corn relish. Save for a side salad or add more to a burger.
