Jr. Cheeseburger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, season the ground brisket with salt and black pepper. Divide the meat into two equal portions and shape them into balls.

  2. 2

    Smash the Patties

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place the balls of meat onto the skillet and use a spatula to smash them down into flat patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Flip the patties and place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the brioche buns cut side down and toast them until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Once the patties are cooked and the buns are toasted, place a patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
