Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 1 1/2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 lean to fat ratio)
  • 4 slices American cheese slices
  • 4 pieces Brioche burger buns
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 4 leaves Iceberg lettuce leaves
  • 1 large Tomato
  • 4 thin slices Red onion(optional)
  • 12 slices Dill pickle chips
  • 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and gently shape them into patties about 1 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Use your thumb to create a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.

  3. 3

    Season both sides of the patties generously with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Heat a large cast-iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat and lightly butter the cut sides of the buns.

  5. 5

    Toast the buns in the skillet until golden brown, then set aside.

  6. 6

    Place the patties in the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes without moving them to develop a crust.

  7. 7

    Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of American cheese on each; cook for another 3 minutes for medium doneness.

  8. 8

    Assemble by spreading mayo on the bottom bun, followed by lettuce, tomato, the cheesy patty, onions, pickles, and the top bun.
