Smashburger Burgers
Smashburger makes some of the best hamburgers that you can buy. They are flavorful, made with fresh meat, and made fresh to order. Smashburger is unique in how they prepare their burgers.
Smashburger smashes the meat into the grill while cooking. By smashing the meat onto the grill the flavor and juice get locked into the meat. Smashburger does not use ordinary ground beef for their burgers they use minced chuck steak. Using higher-quality meats means that you get a better burger.
What makes the Smashburger French Onion Burger so special
Their French onion burger is a fun new burger that they serve on their limited menu. This burger features sauteed onions, Boursin cheese, swiss cheese, and two patties all served up on a delightful onion bun. It’s not every day that you can find a burger that packs so much flavor in itself.
This isn’t your ordinary burger, it is one that is extraordinary. The combination of Boursin and Swiss cheese you send up with a burger that is going to make you want to say “oui-oui”.
If you have never purchased Boursin cheese it is a brand of cheese that combines Gournay Cheese and mouthwatering herbs and spices to create an array of delicious flavors. It is delicately wrapped in a signature foil to preserve freshness.
I have to be honest here, I love Boursin cheese. A slice of it makes an ordinary grilled chicken breast into something extraordinary. Whenever I have guests over I love to serve up some Boursin cheese, the plate of Boursin cheese always comes back empty. The creaminess of this cheese is the perfect substitution for mayonnaise or mustard on a burger.

I am a HUGE burger fan! This looks like an ultimate food fantasy. Though if I had to pick one thing bad, the SIZE looks small. I would make it with a larger bun 🙂
You have a great talent.

Kudos on the photo!!! That alone will tip the scales in favor of making this for Memorial Day cookout. Combine that with some smoked Baby Back’s and KFC coleslaw (with tarragon vinegar) and there will be smiles all around!!
Thanks Steph for another home run!! Our go-to site.

Only made 4 burgers but I really needed 8. They were that popular. Can’t imagine what I was thinking! I have never been that good of a rib cook. My wife hinted these were the best I have ever smoked. Last hour I basted them with some peach BBQ sauce. Wonderful Decoration Day. I guess the kids now call it Memorial Day. ha ha
