Classic Cheeseburger Recipe
Ingredients:
500g ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
4 slices of cheddar cheese
4 sesame seed burger buns
Lettuce leaves
Tomato slices
Dill pickle slices
1 tablespoon butter (for toasting buns)
Optional Toppings:
Ketchup
Mustard
Mayonnaise
Caramelized onions
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Beef Patties:
Divide the ground beef into four equal portions.
Shape each portion into a round patty, about 2 cm thick.
Season both sides of the patties with salt and black pepper.
2. Cook the Patties:
Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat.
Place the patties on the hot surface and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side without pressing down.
Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the patties are cooked to your liking.
3. Toast the Buns:
Spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides of the burger buns.
Toast the buns in a skillet or grill until golden brown.
4. Assemble the Burgers:
On the bottom bun, layer lettuce, the cooked beef patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, and pickles.
Add your desired condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo).
Top with the other half of the bun.
5. Serve:
Serve the cheeseburgers warm with fries or a side salad. Enjoy!
Pro Tip: For an extra juicy patty, avoid overworking the meat while shaping, and let the burgers rest for a minute before serving.
