Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
- 4 burger buns
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: pickles, bacon, Krusty-O’s cereal for garnish
Instructions
- Divide ground beef into four equal portions and shape into patties.
- Heat skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side.
- In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese to melt.
- Toast buns lightly and spread mayonnaise on the top bun and ketchup and mustard on the bottom bun.
- Add lettuce, tomato, and red onion to the bottom bun, then place the cheese-topped patty on top.
- Finish with the top bun and add garnishes as desired.
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, consider grilling the patties instead of pan-frying.
- Add bacon for an extra layer of deliciousness.
- Experiment with different types of cheese, such as pepper jack or provolone.
- For a vegetarian option, use plant-based burger patties.
- Don’t forget the pickles!
