Ingredients & Tools You’ll Need

Alright, let’s talk ingredients. For this masterpiece, you’ll need some good-quality bread, cheese, ground beef, and, of course, tomato soup. I go heavy on the cheese here – think gooey, melty goodness that oozes out when you take a bite.

Grab your favorite cheeses; I usually stick with a mix of cheddar and mozzarella for that perfect balance of flavor and stretch.

You’ll also need some eggs to soak the grilled cheese, adding that extra richness that elevates the dish. As for tools, just your basic frying pan or griddle will do, along with a spatula. If you’ve got a grill, even better!

Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s dive into how to make these burgers.

How To Make It

Making Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Smash Burgers is easier than you might think. We’ll start with some preparation and then get into the cooking part. Don’t worry if you’ve never made smash burgers before; I’ll guide you through it step by step!

Preparation

First things first, let’s prep the grilled cheese. Mayo the inside sides of your bread – it sounds a bit strange, but trust me, it gives the bread that perfect golden crisp. Layer two slices of cheese on each piece of bread, and then do it again, because, let’s be real, you can never have too much cheese!

While you’re at it, mix the eggs into the tomato soup. This is where the magic happens! Once that’s all set, portion out your ground beef into 1/3-pound balls.

You want them to be nice and uniform so they cook evenly. Now we’re ready to get cooking!

Cooking

Heat up your pan or griddle over medium heat. Once it’s hot, place your ground beef balls on the surface and smash them down with a sturdy spatula. You want them to sizzle and get those beautiful caramelized edges.

Season them up with some salt and pepper while they cook.

Now, in another pan, toss on your grilled cheese sandwiches. You’ll want to cook these until they’re golden brown and crispy, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes on each side. Once your burgers are cooked to your liking, and your grilled cheese sandwiches are perfectly crispy, it’s time to assemble.

Peel the grilled cheese apart carefully and place two patties right in the center of each sandwich. The gooey cheese will hold everything together, and when you take that first bite, you’ll be in flavor heaven. Seriously, it’s a game-changer!

Serving & Variations

Now for the best part – serving these delicious burgers! You can pair them with a side of fries, a simple salad, or even some potato chips for that extra crunch. If you want to mix things up, try adding some sautéed onions or pickles for an added zing.

Leftovers? Not likely, but if you do have any, store them in the fridge for a day or two. Just reheat in a skillet to bring back that crispy goodness.

You can also experiment with different cheeses or add toppings like bacon or avocado. The possibilities are endless!

So there you have it! Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Smash Burgers are not just a meal; they’re an experience that’ll have everyone coming back for seconds. The combination of flavors and textures is simply irresistible, and I can’t wait for you to try it out yourself.
