Sure! Here’s a classic cheeseburger recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef (85% lean recommended)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of cheese (American, cheddar, or your favorite cheese)
- 4 hamburger buns
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make sure they are slightly larger than the hamburger buns, as they will shrink a bit during cooking. Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper.
- Once the grill or skillet is hot, place the burger patties on it. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them over and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side. If using a skillet, you may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
- During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on top of each patty and allow it to melt.
- While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
- Once the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness, remove them from the grill or skillet.
- Assemble your cheeseburgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun. Add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise.
- Serve your cheeseburgers hot and enjoy!
Feel free to customize your cheeseburgers with additional toppings or seasonings according to your preferences.
