Ingredients
- 4 fresh burger buns (preferably sesame seed)
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 large tomato (sliced)
- 1/2 cup pickles (slices)
- 1/4 cup sliced onions (optional)
- Ketchup (to taste)
- Mayonnaise (to taste)
- Mustard (to taste)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties: In a large bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide the beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.
- Cook the Patties: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the burgers and immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers reach your desired doneness.
- Butter the Buns: While the patties are cooking, spread a generous amount of softened butter on the insides of each burger bun. Toast the buns on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.
- Assemble the Burgers: On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer shredded lettuce, a slice of tomato, and pickles. Place the cheesy burger patty on top, followed by sliced onions if desired.
- Add Condiments: Spread ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard on the top half of the bun to your liking.
- Finish and Serve: Place the top half of the bun on the assembled burger and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or onion rings.
