Ingredients

  • 2 lbs 80/20 ground chuck
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Cheese slices
  • Toppings and condiments as desired
  • burger buns toasted

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Divide your ground chuck into four, 4 oz, portions, gently pressing them into a spherical shape. Season them with a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper on all sides.
  2. Heat a griddle on medium high heat, waiting for a couple minutes until the griddle is fully heated, then add beef and use a stiff metal spatula or grill press to press down on each one until they are very wide and about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Let cook for about 2-3 minutes without moving the patties to develop a good brown crust. Use the spatula to carefully scrape up the patties and flip them, one at a time. Add cheese now, if using.
  4. Continue cooking until patties are cooked through, about 30 seconds to 1 1/2 minutes, and cheese is melted.
  5. Place patties, toppings, and condiments onto toasted burger buns, add top buns, and serve immediately.
