Cook the Patty
Form the ground beef into a ball. Place it on a smoking hot cast-iron skillet and smash it flat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until a crust forms, flip, and immediately top with cheddar slices to melt.
Closed Burger (UFO Burger)
A legendary street food where the fillings never spill! Crispy on the outside, incredibly juicy on the inside. This cheese-packed ASMR favorite takes the classic burger experience to a whole new level.

Ingredients
Method
2
Prep the Buns
Lightly toast the inside of your burger buns. Spread the special burger sauce on the bottom bun and layer the pickle slices.
3
Assemble
Place the hot, cheesy patty onto the bottom bun. Top with caramelized onions and place the top bun on it. Make sure the ingredients are centered and not spilling over the edges.
4
The UFO Seal
Melt butter in a hot pan and place the assembled burger in it. Take a round metal bowl (or a specialized UFO burger press) that is slightly smaller than the bun, place it over the burger, and press down firmly. Trim any excess bread around the edges of the bowl.
5
Toast to Perfection
Once the edges are tightly sealed, toast both sides of the closed burger in the butter until perfectly golden and crispy. Serve immediately!
