Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 12 lices American cheese
  • 6 hamburger buns
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons butter for grilling

Instructions

  1. Form the ground beef into 12 round even balls.
  2. Bring your griddle to medium high. Add the butter and oil. When the butter melts and the oil begins to smoke you are ready to cook.
  3. Place your meat on the griddle, use your spatula to smash them hard to flatten on the cooking surface. 
  4. Season aggressively with salt and pepper.
  5. Flip your burgers when the edges of the patties begin to brown.  Season again with salt and pepper.
  6. When the patties are close to being cooked through, add a piece of cheese to the top of each patty. 
  7. When the burgers are done and the cheese is melted remove from the griddle.
  8. Add two patties to each bun and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can speed up the cheese melting process by using a squeeze bottle to spray a small amount of water onto the grill and then cover with a metal bowl or cover to trap the steam.
