Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (4 oz) beef patties (80% lean)
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 soft burger buns
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- Pickle slices (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil.
- Season the beef patties with salt and pepper. Place them on the hot skillet.
- Immediately smash each patty down with a spatula to form a thin patty. Let it cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges are crispy and caramelized.
- Flip the patties and immediately add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked through.
- Meanwhile, toast the burger buns in the same skillet until lightly golden and crispy, about 1 minute.
- Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
- Place the cheesy beef patties on the buns. Top with sliced onions and pickles, if using.
- Cover with the top half of the buns and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can sauté the onions before adding them to the burger.
- If you prefer, you can use any cheese variety—American cheese works great for a meltier texture.
- For a spicier burger, add some jalapeño slices or hot sauce to the toppings.
