Making chipper burgers at home

jackboy

Would like to have a go at making something similar to chipper burgers at home. Where do chippers get those wide flat quarter pounder burgers? Butcher burgers are too thick and I have not found anything suitable in supermarkets. Those flat burgers from chippers leave loads of space for fillings.

put butcher burger on plate, grease proof paper on burger, another plate on top, press down evenly, and hey presto, smash burger.

we get our burgers in aldi - either the waygu or the rib steak whichevers available.

season with salt and pepper, heat pan, fry for 2 mins, turn, fry for 2 mins, smear of butter on first cooked side, flip and fry for one minute, smear of butter on second cooked side, flip and fry for 1 minute.

rest for a couple of minutes while you prepare toppings etc.

i like mine with fried egg, bacon and pineapple.

Yes the Waygu burgers from Aldi are out of this world 👍.

A frozen burger will be your best bet. Then mix sliced onion in ketchup and top with cheese. Thats best for a chipper burger at home.

Make your own. Mince meat, egg, some seasoning and some flour, mix it together and then make your patty. Simple and kids love em

I made a post a while ago about doing smash burgers at home, the information is still good.

Although, when I look at the photos in the thread, I think I've gotten a little better about smashing even thinner… The burgers in the pics are more Bunsen-style, a bit of a hybrid. These days I get my patties really thin and crusty at the edges, like Dash Burger.

If you want a thin burger patty that allows you to add in lots of other toppings, rather than a big stacked burger, worth trying.

A smash burger isn't just a thin burger patty you've squished and then fried off, the smashing has to occur during the cooking process. The technique takes a little practice, but it's not complicated.

For the actual burgers all you really need is some ground beef with reasonably high fat content, and some salt.

I used to add so many other ingredients, when making burgers at home… Breadcrumbs, egg, spices… They're not really required at all, IMO, and just turn the burger from a burger into a kind of meatloaf sandwich. Bunsen, Dash Burger, all the good burger places, all of them keep it simple.

Those Big Al's frozen yokes are the closest thing around to a chipper burger, imo. Although why you'd actually want to make one at home is beyond me, tbh, I've never had a chipper burger that didn't taste like regret.
