How to Make All American Cheeseburgers
- In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, salt, pepper, and chopped onion. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the burgers tough.
- Form the meat mixture into four equal-sized patties, slightly larger than the buns.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium, or to your desired doneness.
- During the last minute of cooking, place a cheese slice on each patty to allow it to melt.
- Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for a minute per side, or until lightly browned.
- Spread ketchup and mayonnaise on the bottom halves of the buns.
- Place a cooked patty on each bottom bun, followed by lettuce, tomato, and any desired toppings (pickles, mustard, etc.).
- Top with the bun tops and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
