Stick to the basics with a good ole cheeseburger. Top it with all the hearty things you desire: cheese, bacon, you name it!
Ingredients
- 1 lb.
ground beef (80/20)
- 1 lb.
ground sirloin (90/10)
- 1 tbsp.
Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp.
kosher salt
- 1 tsp.
ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp.
vegetable oil
- 4
toasted hamburger buns
-
Optional toppings: American cheese, shredded iceburg lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced red onion, dill pickle slices, ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise
Description
-
- Combine the ground beef, ground sirloin, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Gently mix the beef mixture to thoroughly combine with the seasoning. Divide the mixture into 4 even portions, about 8 ounces each. Pat each portion into a ball (but not too tightly), then press into one-inch thick patties.
- 2On the stovetop: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan. Place the patties in the skillet and let cook for 3 to 4 minutes until golden and crusty. Flip and cook the other side until the internal temperature of the burger reaches 135˚ (for medium doneness), about 3 minutes more. If you like cheese on your burgers, add it during the last minute of cooking, then cover to melt.
- 3Alternatively cook on the grill: Preheat your grill over medium-high heat, 400˚ to 425˚. Oil the grill grates. Place the patties on the grill over direct heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, covered, or until the internal temperature reads 135˚ (for medium doneness). If you like cheese on your burgers, add it during the last minute of cooking, then cover to melt.
- 4Serve immediately on toasted buns with whatever toppings you like!
Tip: If your grocery store sells 85/15 ground beef, you can use two pounds of that for this recipe.
