Thomas Straker’s Chili Cheese Smash Burgers

If you still haven’t decided which burger recipe you’ll be making for the upcoming holiday weekend, I’m going to encourage you to make Thomas Straker’s Chili Cheese Smash Burgers! Homemade milk bread buns toasted in butter, topped with a generous smear of burger sauce made with shallot, pickle relish, mayo, mustard, and cayenne pepper, two cheese-topped burger patties, and the star of the burger: pickled chillies for acid, sweetness, and intense heat. I failed at properly smashing my burgers – I don’t think I pressed hard enough, so I never got that crispy crust you want from a smash burger. Still delicious, but it has me wondering: do I need to invest in a burger press? And while the homemade milk buns are delicious, if you want to save yourself the time, store-bought is fine.
