Provided by Lauren Allen

Categories     Main Course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ pounds ground chuck (80/20)*
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6 buns (, toasted, if desired)
6 slices cheddar cheese (, or your favorite cheese)
6 Lettuce leaves
1 Beefsteak tomato (, sliced)
1/2 of a Red or white onion (, thinly sliced)
6 Pickle slices

Steps:

  • Make burger seasoning by combining all spices in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Divide ground chuck into 6 equal portions and gently from into 1/2 inch thick patties that are wider than the burger buns (as they will shrink). Use your thumb to press an indentation into the center of each patty. Cover and set aside.
  • Preheat grill to medium high heat. Just before cooking, sprinkle seasoning over the patties, then place on hot grill, indent-side up. Close grill lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the bottom of the burger is seared and juices are accumulating on top of the burger. Flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until the beef reaches 160 degrees F.
  • Place cheese on burgers during the last minute of cooking. Remove to a plate and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving in a bun, with toppings.

Classic American Cheeseburger Recipe by Tasty image

The secret to these easy burgers is using a blend of different types of ground meat to give the burgers amazing flavor, while keeping them tender. You can ask a butcher to grind them for you, or some grocery stores sell their own unique burger blends.

Provided by Jeremy Paige

Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 oz 80% lean ground beef
6 oz ground beef short rib
6 oz ground beef brisket rib
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
4 large hamburger buns
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon canola oil
4 slices beefsteak tomatoes
4 slices red onion
4 leaves green leaf lettuce
ketchup
mayonnaise
dijon mustard

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, gently mix together the ground chuck, short rib, and brisket with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon ground pepper.
  • Shape the meat into 4 equal patties about 4½ inches wide and 1 inch thick. Use your thumb to press an indentation into the center of each patty to prevent a bubble from forming in the center when cooking. Generously season the tops and sides of the patties with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Spread about ½ tablespoon of butter onto each cut side of the hamburger buns. Working in batches, toast the buns, buttered-side down, for about 2 minutes, until golden brown. Set aside.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high. Add a thin layer of canola oil to the pan and cook the burgers for 4 minutes on one side, until nicely browned. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side. Top each burger with a slice of cheese and cover the pan with a lid. Cook until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature of the burgers reaches 135°F (57°C), another 1-2 minutes.
  • Assemble the burgers: Place a burger patty on each toasted bun, then top with a slice of tomato and red onion, lettuce, ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
