Description
Juicy and cheesy double cheeseburger recipe that’s quick and easy to make for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80% lean, 20% fat)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 slices of American or cheddar cheese (2 slices per burger)
- 4 burger buns (brioche or sesame seed buns)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for toasting buns)
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tomato, sliced
- Leafy lettuce (romaine or iceberg)
- Dill pickle slices (optional)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (for sauce, optional)
- 1 tbsp ketchup (for sauce, optional)
- 1 tsp mustard (for sauce, optional)
- 1 tsp pickle relish (for sauce, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce (Optional): In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and pickle relish until smooth. Set aside.
- Make the Patties: Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions, shape into balls, and then flatten into patties slightly larger than the buns. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Patties: Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness. About 1 minute before they’re done, place 2 slices of cheese on each patty and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.
- Toast the Buns: While the patties cook, heat olive oil or butter in a separate pan over medium heat. Toast the burger buns cut-side down for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Assemble the Double Cheeseburgers: Spread the optional sauce on the bottom and top buns. Layer one beef patty, followed by the second patty, and then top with onion slices, tomato, lettuce, and pickles. Cap it with the top bun.
- Serve: Enjoy your classic double cheeseburger with a side of fries or chips for a complete meal.
