### 🔥 Instructions:
1. **Form your patties** — Divide ground beef into four equal balls (don’t overwork it!). Keep them loose for a tender burger.
2. **Heat a skillet or griddle** over medium-high heat. No oil needed — the beef fat does the magic.
3. **Smash the patties** — Place beef balls on the hot surface, press down with a spatula until thin. Season with salt and pepper.
4. **Cook 1-2 minutes per side** until edges are crispy and browned. Add cheese to each patty right after flipping.
5. **Toast the buns** — Use the same pan to get them golden and slightly crispy.
6. **Stack it up** — Two cheesy patties per burger, then layer with your favorite toppings. Don’t forget grilled onions for that signature Five Guys flavor!
