Cheese Burger Recipe

                                                           

Ingredients:

For the patties:

1 pound (450g) ground beef (80% lean)

Salt and pepper to taste

For assembling the burgers:

4 hamburger buns

4 slices of your favorite cheese (cheddar, American, Swiss, etc.)

Lettuce leaves

Tomato slices

Onion slices (optional)

Pickles (optional)

For the sauce:

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons ketchup

1 tablespoon mustard

1 teaspoon vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the Sauce:

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust the seasoning to taste. This will be your burger sauce.

Shape the Patties:

Gently shape the ground beef into 4 equal-sized patties. Make them slightly larger than the diameter of your buns, as they will shrink a bit during cooking. Season both sides of each patty with salt and pepper.

Cook the Patties:

You can cook the patties on a grill, stovetop, or in the oven. Here's how to do it on the stovetop:

Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.

Add the patties to the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

In the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheese on top of each patty and cover the pan with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.

Toast the Buns:

While the patties are cooking, cut the hamburger buns in half and lightly toast them either on the grill, in the oven, or in a toaster.

Assemble the Burgers:

On the bottom half of each bun, spread a generous amount of the sauce. Place a lettuce leaf on top of the sauce, followed by a tomato slice and onion slices if using. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top of the veggies. Add pickles if desired.

Top and Serve:

Place the top half of the bun on the patty to complete the burger. Serve your delicious cheeseburgers with your favorite sides, such as French fries, coleslaw, or a side salad.

Enjoy your homemade cheeseburgers! Feel free to customize them by adding other toppings like bacon, avocado, sautéed mushrooms, or any other ingredients you love
