Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20)
- 8 slices American cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 4 slices tomato
- 1/2 red onion, sliced into rings
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 4 tablespoons yellow mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons butter (for toasting buns)
Instructions
- Divide ground beef into 8 equal portions and shape into thin patties, slightly larger than the buns. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
- In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheese and cover to melt.
- While patties cook, butter the cut sides of the buns and toast on the griddle until golden.
- Assemble burgers: place a cheese-topped patty on each bun bottom, then add another cheese-topped patty on top.
- Add lettuce, tomato, onion rings, ketchup, and mustard. Close with bun tops and serve immediately.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add pickles or bacon.
- Serve with french fries or a side salad.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure patties reach 160°F (71°C).
