The easiest smash burger you’ll ever make!

Just a few ingredients, a quick smash, and pure burger perfection. Steps to make a good smash burger: Preheat a skillet over medium high heat. Lightly oil the surface. Place thinly sliced onions. Place small meat balls (about 2-3 oz each) on top. Smash them flat with a spatula or burger press
