1x2x3x

Main Ingredients

• ½ pound ground beef 80/20 is better for taste
• 2 slices American cheese
• 2 slices tomato
• 3 leaves iceberg lettuce
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ⅛ teaspoon table salt
• ½ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper

Toasted Bun Ingredients

• 1 brioche hamburger bun
• 1 tablespoon salted butter

Condiments

• ½ tablespoon organic mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon organic yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon organic ketchup
• 2 slices dill sandwich pickles optional

Instructions

 

Meat Preparation

• Move ground beef and the cheese from the refrigerator to the counter for approximately 20 minutes to remove the chill while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
• Using gloved hands, shape the ground beef into a ball.
• Place it onto a cutting board and press down until a hamburger patty is formed.
• Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon each of kosher salt, coarse ground black pepper, and onion powder over each side of the patty.
• Gently press the seasonings into the meat.

Toasting the Bun

• Preheat a small skillet over medium-low heat until hot.
• Spread softened butter over the cut sides of the hamburger bun.
• Place the bun halves, butter-side down, in the skillet.
• Toast for 2-3 minutes, or until lightly browned, then transfer to a plate.

Cooking the Meat

• Preheat the cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
• Cook the patty for about 3 minutes, then flip.
• Cook for 1 minute, then add the sliced cheese.
• Continue cooking for approximately 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the center of the burger reaches 160°F.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes if you prefer a more well-done burger.

Assembly Process

• Blot excess moisture from the tomato slices with a paper towel, then sprinkle the slices with 1/8 teaspoon table salt.
• Spread the mayonnaise on the cut side of the top bun, followed by the mustard and ketchup.
• Place the salted tomato slices and iceberg lettuce over the condiments.
• Place the cooked cheeseburger patty on the bottom bun.
• Place the top bun over the burger and secure with a toothpick.
