Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 piece Tomato (sliced)
- 0.5 cup Pickles (optional)
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 4 tbsp Ketchup
- 2 tsp Yellow mustard
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, about ¾-inch thick. Press a small indent in the center of each patty with your thumb (this helps prevent the burgers from puffing up during cooking).
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the pan if needed.
Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them. Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness, or adjust the time for your preferred level of doneness.
Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.
While the patties cook, melt the butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Toast the hamburger buns, cut-side down, until golden brown. Set aside.
Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese onto the bottom half of each toasted bun (optional: broil briefly for extra meltiness).
Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the top half of each bun. Add a cooked patty with melted cheddar to the bottom bun.
Top each burger with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and pickles if desired.
Finish each burger by adding a swirl of ketchup and a small dollop of yellow mustard on top of the patties, then place the top bun over everything.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a salad, and enjoy your ultra-cheesy cheeseburgers!
