Ingredients
  

Burger Patties
  • 1 pound Ground Beef (80/20) Formed into 4 equal balls
Burger Buns
  • 4 pieces Burger Buns Toasted
Toppings
  • 4 slices Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 cup Lettuce Shredded

Sauce Variations
  • 1/2 cup Ketchup
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard

Method
 

Prepare the Patties
  1. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and roll them into balls. Do not overwork the meat.
Cook the Burgers
  1. Preheat a griddle or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the beef balls on the hot surface and smash them down with a spatula to form patties.
  2. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the edges are crispy. Flip the patties, add cheese on top, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
Assemble the Burgers
  1. Toast the burger buns on the griddle for 1-2 minutes. Layer the bottom bun with lettuce, tomato, onion, and the cooked burger patty. Drizzle with your choice of sauce and top with the other half of the bun.
