Description
A simple yet delicious classic cheeseburger recipe that is perfect for any barbecue or family dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Pickles
- Onion slices
- Ketchup and mustard (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indent in the center of each patty to prevent puffing.
- Season both sides of the patties generously with salt and black pepper.
- Place the patties on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
- While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill until lightly golden.
- Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cheeseburger patty, tomato slices, pickles, and onion slices. Add ketchup and mustard if desired. Top with the other half of the bun.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your classic cheeseburger!
Notes
- Feel free to customize your cheeseburger with your favorite toppings and condiments.
- For added flavor, consider mixing in some Worcestershire sauce or garlic powder into the ground beef before forming the patties.
