Method

Cooking Directions

Prepare the Patties

Divide the ground beef into two equal portions (about 0.5 pounds each) and gently shape them into loose balls. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Cook the Patties

Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the beef balls onto the skillet and use a spatula to smash them down into thin patties. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until a crust forms, then flip.

Add Cheese

Immediately after flipping, place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Toast the Buns

While the patties are finishing, melt butter in a separate pan over medium heat. Place the brioche buns cut-side down and toast until golden brown.

Assemble the Burger

On the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the tomato slice and onion rings. Add the cheeseburger patties on top and finish with the top half of the bun.
