Background
The Double Bacon Stack Smash evolved from Smashburger’s original Bacon Stack to satisfy guests who wanted more heft and intensity without compromising flavor balance. The concept was born in Colorado, where Smashburger’s culinary team focused on achieving the perfect ratio of beef, bacon, and cheese.
Unlike many fast-food bacon burgers that feel greasy, this build uses freshly smashed patties and crisped applewood bacon for a cleaner, more refined taste. It’s a showcase of precision and texture — a burger engineered to feel both decadent and balanced.
Ingredients & Flavor Profile
Each component of the Double Bacon Stack Smash works together to create depth and contrast:
- Two Certified Angus Beef patties, smashed and seared for crispy edges.
- Applewood smoked bacon, thick and crispy for texture and saltiness.
- Two slices of American cheese, melting smoothly over both patties.
- Pickles and onions, adding brightness to cut the richness.
- Ketchup and Smash Sauce, for sweet and tangy balance.
- Toasted buttered bun, warm and soft, holding everything together.
The flavor journey starts with the crisp snap of bacon, followed by smoky beef and cheesy creaminess. Each bite delivers that perfect mix of savory, sweet, and crunch.

Taste & Texture Review
The Double Bacon Stack Smash delivers everything you want from a premium burger: smoky aroma, crispy edges, melty cheese and that unmistakable bacon crunch. The beef and bacon interplay is exceptional — savory yet clean. The bun’s light sweetness balances the salt, while the pickles and sauce cut through richness for a complete flavor arc.

Chef’s Notes & Culinary Insight 👨🍳
According to Smashburger chefs, the Double Bacon Stack Smash represents their “precision burger.” Timing the bacon’s crispness to match the patty’s sizzle is key. The bacon is rendered to a firm crunch but not brittle, allowing it to mingle with the juices of the beef.
The cheese is layered strategically — one slice between patties and one on top — so that each layer melts evenly without slipping. The result is a clean, uniform melt that coats each bite.
