Preparation
- Heat your skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper.
- Shape the beef into 4 patties, slightly larger than the burger buns.
Cooking
- Sear the patties in the skillet, pressing them down firmly to create crispy edges.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
- In the last minute of cooking, place cheese on top of each patty to melt.
- Butter the burger buns and toast them in the skillet until golden brown.
Assembly
- Assemble the burgers with your choice of toppings like onions and pickles.
- Serve hot for the best experience.
Nutrition
Notes
For optimal results, let the beef sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before shaping the patties. Keep patties larger than buns to account for shrinkage during cooking.
