These deluxe nacho cheese smash burgers more than hit the spot. The sauce is amazing. It’s packed with great things. Believe me, it’s not just some boring old melted cheese. It’s what a smash burger needs. Grab a pile of napkins, because you’re going to need them. And don’t worry about any cheese sauce that drips onto your plate. That’s what the last bite of the bun is for: sopping up that great last bit of greatness.
Easy And Delicious And Messy
Making deluxe nacho cheese smash burgers isn’t difficult. You don’t need a bunch of fancy equipment or a lot of time. Just a hot griddle and a burger press. Any griddle will do, whether it’s on a grill, cooktop, stove or even a standalone outdoor flattop. Just get those patties nice and thin and use quality fresh toppings. And a great sauce.
Oh That Sauce!
I highly recommend making extra nacho cheese sauce. It’s great as a chip dip, over fries, you name it! No more boring cheese sauce, this stuff is fantastic!
