1
Prepare the Burger Patty
In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the beef into a single large patty.
2
Cook the Patty
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patty in the skillet and smash it down with a spatula to create a thin burger. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side.
3
Flip and Add Cheese
Flip the patty and add a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patty is cooked to your liking.
4
Toast the Buns
While the patty is cooking, slice the cornmeal buns and toast them lightly on another skillet or under a broiler until golden.
5
Assemble the Burger
Spread ketchup on the bottom half of the toasted bun, place the cooked patty with cheese on top, and cover with the top half of the bun.
6
Serve
Serve the cheeseburger with regular French fries on the side.
