Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 burger buns
  • Condiments and toppings of choice (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
  2. Divide the ground beef into four equal portions (about 4 oz each) and gently form loose balls. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the beef balls on the hot grill or skillet, using a heavy spatula to smash them down flat. Cook for about two minutes without flipping.
  4. Once juices bubble up through the patty surface, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top and cover for one minute to melt.
  5. Meanwhile, toast the burger buns cut-side down on the grill until golden brown (about one minute).
  6. Assemble by stacking cheesy patties on toasted buns and adding desired toppings.
