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 👩‍🍳

1. Season beef: Place ground beef in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and mix gently—don’t overwork.
2. Form patties: Divide into 4–6 portions. Shape into patties, pressing a small indent in the center to prevent puffing.
3. Cook: Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side, until browned.
4. Add cheese: Place cheddar slices on top. Cover pan or close grill lid until melted.
5. 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.
