Grandpa’s Juicy Cheddar Burgers 🍔🧀🔥✨
Just three ingredients for a juicy, melt-in-your-mouth burger that feels like a cheat meal. A cookout classic passed down with love!
Ingredients 🛒
- 1½ pounds ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt (or 1 teaspoon fine table salt)
- 6 ounces sharp yellow cheddar cheese, sliced or shredded
Instructions 👩🍳
- Season beef: Place ground beef in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and mix gently—don’t overwork.
- Form patties: Divide into 4–6 portions. Shape into patties, pressing a small indent in the center to prevent puffing.
- Cook: Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side, until browned.
- Add cheese: Place cheddar slices on top. Cover pan or close grill lid until melted.
- Serve: Enjoy hot on buns or solo with your favorite sides.
Tips 🌟
- Extra juicy: Let patties rest 5 minutes before serving.
- Variation: Mix in black pepper or garlic powder for flavor depth.
- Serving idea: Pair with fries, grilled corn, or a fresh salad.
