A blanket of snow covers the outdoor grill in some areas. Burger cravings, however, are not buried. At this time of the year, we find reprieve in our cast-iron skillet. A heated, butter- and oil-lubricated pan delivers crusty-edged, juicy burgers perfect for stacking on toasted bread.
For the best results, season the burgers ahead of time and pat them thin. Think of smash burgers at the local joint. Thin, 1/4-pound patties need less than 10 minutes in a hot pan. Perfect for indulgent wagyu beef patties, lean bison burgers, and heart-friendly turkey. We like these thin burgers single as well as doubled up for hearty appetites.
