Ingredients

For the Burgers

2 lb ground beef
6 brioche burger buns
6 slices cheddar cheese
6 slices pepper jack cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Toppings

1 lb bacon
1 onion sliced

Smoky Campfire Sauce

½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup barbecue
2 teaspoon liquid smoke

Instructions

Turn the griddle up to medium heat. Slice the onions. Coat griddle with oil where you will be cooking your onions. Add sliced onions and bacon to the griddle. Cook until desired doneness.
Coat griddle with oil where you will cook the burgers. Form the ground beef into loose balls leaving some air pockets. Place each ball on the griddle and press down with the burger press. You want your burger to be between a quarter of an inch to a half of an inch in thickness. Once the bottom starts to crisp around the edges, flip and apply cheese. Apply cheddar cheese on half of the burgers and pepper jack on the other half.
Spread mayonnaise on both sides of the brioche bun and place on the griddle. Remove the burgers once completed.
Place one pepper jack burger on top of one cheddar cheese burger (this can be flipped as well). Remove all food from the griddle.
Mix together mayonnaise, barbecue sauce and liquid smoke. Spread campfire sauce on both halves of the brioche bun. Place the double smash burger on the bottom bun and top with bacon and onions. Top with the top brioche bun and serve immediately.

Notes

Burgers are too thin to take their temperature. Burgers are done when the edges are crisp and both sides are cooked.
If you need to cook inside use a cast iron skillet or indoor electric griddle.
