Smash Burger Cheesesteak
Smash Burger Cheesesteak
Inspired by two all-American classics, our Smash Burger Cheesesteak is stacked high with juicy ground beef, gooey provolone cheese and topped with grilled onions & peppers. It’s a beefed-up burger cheesesteak hybrid that will level up your grilling game.
We made this recipe on our reliable 4-Burner Gas Griddle.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef with 2 tablespoons of the beef seasoning and mix thoroughly.

6.
Oil up the cooking surface with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place meatballs on the griddle.

Hot Tip
Place parchment paper between the meat press and the meat to prevent sticking.
