Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hamburger Patty

    Shape the ground beef into a 1/2-pound patty. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Grill the Patty

    Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Cook the hamburger patty for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Flip the patty and add the cheese slices on top. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the patty reaches your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Toast the Bun

    While the patty is cooking, lightly toast the hamburger bun on the grill or in a toaster until golden.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Au Jus

    In a small saucepan, heat beef broth over medium heat until simmering. Optionally, add herbs or seasonings for flavor.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Place the grilled hamburger patty with melted cheese on the toasted bun. Serve with a small bowl of au jus on the side for dipping.
