Ingredients

Instructions

  • Spread butter or mayonnaise on both sides of four buns and set aside.
  • Add the first 7 ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Mix until just combined, careful not to over mix the ingredients. Form four patties.
  • Preheat cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Place patties into heated pan and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, depending upon the thickness of the burgers. Add the cheese after you flip the burgers the first time.
  • Grill the buns either in the skillet or on a griddle.
  • Serve the burgers with your favorite toppings immediately.

Notes

  • To keep your burger from falling apart, be sure to COOK them straight from the fridge.
  • Put a small indention into the middle of the burger. This keeps the meat from pulling up and will keep your burger flat for better stacking of the toppings.
  • It’s best not to flatten the burger with your spatula. This causes all the juices to spill out of the burger.
  • Because of the high fat content, it’s a good idea to keep a spray bottle out at your grill to keep the flames down.
  • Let the cheese melt fully. If you are using a propane grill, turn it off and let the cheese get melted to perfection.
