Colby-Jack Cheeseburgers Recipe

American · Main course · 25 min total

Juicy beef patties topped with melted Colby-Jack cheese, served on toasted buns with classic fixings. This easy recipe delivers a perfect diner-style burger at home.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 4 slices Colby-Jack cheese
• 4 hamburger buns, split
• 4 leaves lettuce
• 4 slices tomato
• 4 slices red onion
• ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise (to taste)

Instructions

1. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into 3/4-inch thick patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each.
2. Season both sides of patties with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4 minutes per side for medium, or to desired doneness.
4. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Colby-Jack cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
5. Toast the buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until lightly golden.
6. Assemble burgers: place lettuce, tomato, and onion on bottom bun, add the patty with cheese, and spread condiments on top bun. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For juicier burgers, avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking.
• Customize with your favorite toppings like pickles, bacon, or avocado.
• Leftover cooked patties can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet.
