Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 cheddar cheese slices
- 0.25 cup ketchup
Instructions
Step 1: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions, shape them into burger patties, and sprinkle with salt and pepper (optional, not included in the main ingredients).
Step 2: Cook the burger patties in the skillet or on the grill for 3-4 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). In the last minute of cooking, place a cheddar cheese slice on top of each patty to melt.
Step 3: While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 4: Assemble the burgers. Spread about 1 tablespoon of ketchup onto the bottom half of each bun, place the cooked patties with melted cheese on top, and cover with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately and enjoy!
