Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 24 oz of ground beef with 1/2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
- Divide the seasoned ground beef into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, making sure they are slightly larger than the buns since they will shrink when cooking. Create a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly and prevent puffing up.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F or 190°C to 200°C). If using a stovetop, heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on your desired level of doneness:
- Medium-Rare: 4 minutes per side
- Medium: 5 minutes per side
- Medium-Well: 6 minutes per side
- About 1-2 minutes before the patties are done, place 2 slices of cheddar cheese on each burger. Close the grill lid (or cover with a lid if cooking on a stovetop) to allow the cheese to melt perfectly.
- While the patties are cooking, slice the hamburger buns in half. Lightly toast the buns on the grill or in a toaster for about 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown.
- Wash and pat dry the lettuce, tearing it into appropriately sized pieces to fit the buns.
- Slice the tomato into about 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Place a piece of lettuce on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
- Add the juicy burger patty with melted cheddar cheese on top of the lettuce.
- Place a slice or two of tomato on top of the cheese.
- Finish with the top half of the bun.
- Serve immediately while hot. Pair with your favorite sides like french fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad!
Tips:
- Choose ground beef with an 80/20 meat-to-fat ratio to ensure juicy and flavorful burgers.
- Do not overmix the ground beef to avoid dense and tough patties.
- Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
- Allow the burgers to rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices.
- Lightly toast the hamburger buns to add a bit of crunch and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Add your favorite condiments and fresh toppings like lettuce and tomatoes just before serving for maximum freshness.
And there you have it, the ultimate juicy beef burgers with cheddar cheese and fresh toppings. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, and watch as family and friends come back for seconds. Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!
