Make the Smash Burgers:

Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the Burger:
Spread butter on the brioche buns and toast until golden.

Layer one cheese-covered patty, then another patty for double deliciousness.
Add crispy bacon, pickles, shredded lettuce, and a little extra sauce.
Top with the toasted bun.

Enjoy this burger with crispy fries or a cold drink.
Pro Tip: Pressing the patties hard while cooking creates those crispy, caramelized edges!
