Method

Prepare the Patties

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine ground beef with salt, pepper, and blackened seasoning. Divide mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.

  2. 2

    Cook Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4 minutes on one side, then flip and add your desired cheese (cheddar, swiss, bleu, or queso blanco) and cook for another 4 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached.
