Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 0.5 medium white onion, finely diced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 English muffins, split and toasted
- 2 cheddar cheese slices
- 2 lettuce leaves
- 4 tomato slices
- 4 slices pickles
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
Instructions
In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed onions, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper. Gently mix the ingredients with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into round patties, about ½ inch thick and slightly larger than the size of your English muffins.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and heat over medium-high heat. Once the butter is sizzling, place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on the first side, until a crust forms.
Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each one. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare to medium is recommended).
Meanwhile, lightly toast the English muffins until golden brown.
Spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the cut sides of each English muffin half.
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each English muffin, followed by a cooked burger patty with melted cheese. Add two tomato slices, two pickle slices, and the top half of the English muffin.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as French fries or a crisp salad.
