Carla Lalli Music shares her recipe for homemade smash burgers, highlighting the importance of fat content in meat for flavor and juiciness. She suggests using ground chuck or a blend of chuck roast and short rib, ensuring it's around 20% fat. The method involves smashing the patties on the cooktop to achieve crispy edges. Preferred burger buns are squishy potato rolls, complemented by classic American cheese and various toppings. Preparedness is key, as thin patties cook quickly, allowing for a delicious and satisfying burger experience.
