Guy Fieri’s ‘The Burger Basher’ Makes 4 burgers 4 brioche hamburger buns ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted 1 tsp. minced garlic 4 (6-ounce) premium blend ground beef burger balls Kosher salt 8 ounces Bacon Mac ‘n’ Cheese (recipe below) 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese slices 8 ounces crispy crumbled bacon bits 4 tsp. garlic panko bread crumbs ¼ cup crispy Maui onion straws 3 tbsp. Donkey Sauce (recipe below) ¼ cup thinly sliced sweet onion 1 Kosher dill pickle, thinly sliced 1 Beefsteak tomato, thinly sliced 1 cup finely shredded iceberg lettuce (dressed with 1 tsp. red wine vinegar) 1. Combine the melted butter with minced garlic. Slice each bun in half and brush the garlic butter on each side. Toast each half in a hot skillet or grill pan, about 20 seconds; flip and toast the second side as well. 2. In a cast-iron skillet over high heat, add 2 teaspoons canola oil. Season burger balls with salt and add to pan. Sear for 30 seconds. Using a firm spatula, flatten each into a patty, about 1/3’’ thick. Cook for approximately 1½ minutes to develop a crust on the first side. 3. Flip over, add 2 ounces of mac and cheese to each patty, and top with one slice of cheddar. Cover with a dome and pour 1 tablespoon of water into the skillet to create steam and melt the cheese. Cook for 1 minute. Remove the dome; the cheese should be completely melted. Cook an additional 30-45 seconds so any cheese spilling over the burger gets crusty. 4. To assemble, spread donkey sauce on each half of the bun. Cover the bottom bun with thinly sliced onion, three slices of pickle and one slice of tomato. Top with the hamburger patty, top with bacon crumbles, garlic panko, onion straws and a heaping tablespoon of dressed lettuce. Add top bun and skewer to hold together. Serve immediately.
