Description
That’s right! Bacon Rueben Smash Burgers, made with corned beef brisket & bacon, with homemade thousand island dressing. That’s the Goodens Gettins! This particular burger does require a meat grinder (or a cool butcher), but even if you don’t plan on making, it’s fun to follow along!
Okay, so if you can’t get the corned beef and bacon grounded up like Dan, you can at least try this with ground beef! We promise it will still be Dan-Good. If you have a local butcher, there’s a good chance they will grind this and package it for you, though!
Serve Bacon Reuben Smash Burgers with fries or side of choice. Enjoy!
