Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Tomato slices
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup
- 4 teaspoons Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and gently shape each into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Avoid overworking the meat to keep the burgers tender.
Season each patty on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and coat it lightly with vegetable oil.
Place the burger patties on the hot skillet or grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side without pressing down on them to retain juiciness.
Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they reach your preferred doneness (medium is usually around 160°F internal temperature).
In the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty. Cover with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden, about 1 minute.
Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked patties on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, a tablespoon of ketchup, and a teaspoon of mustard. Add the top bun to finish.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries or a simple salad.
