Homemade Smash Burgers | Delicious Fakeaway Recipe

Simple and super-juicy, these smash burgers are our new Friday night favourite.

You know those days where you’re just craving something indulgently bulky to satisfy your hunger? Maybe you’ve been trapped back to back meetings, smashed out a new PB at the gym, or a week of intense training has just caught up with you… whatever it is, you’re in the mood to sink your teeth into something serious. This recipe from Niall Kirkland is exactly what you’re looking for. Trust us.

Smash burgers are literally just that, meat that’s been ‘smashed’ in the pan to make perfectly stackable patties. And boy, do we stack these up with all the trimmings and an oozing cheese centre. Cue mouth-watering.

This fakeaway is a delicious treat that you can actually keep pretty healthy in comparison to regular fast food options, too. All it takes is a few clever switches, like making sure to pick the leanest mince possible, going for low-fat cheese, and using light mayonnaise in the sauce if you’re conscious about the calorie count.
