Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form it into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

  3. 3

    Smash the Patties

    Flip the patties and immediately smash them down with a spatula to create a nice crust. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    Top each patty with all five cheese slices (American, Swiss, Provolone, Cheddar, Mozzarella) and cover for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of the burger bun. Place the cheesy patty on top, followed by lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burger immediately with your choice of sides.
