Chop House Burger Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties.

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

3. 3

   Add Cheese

   In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese or bleu cheese crumbles on each patty and cover to melt.

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

   While the cheese melts, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, and add any optional toppings such as bacon, avocado, or jalapeños. Top with the other half of the bun.
