Description

There's nothing quite like a juicy burger with a slice of melted cheddar cheese on top. This recipe will show you how to make the best cheddar burger you've ever tasted. The secret is in the seasoning, and the method of cooking. You'll get a perfectly cooked burger that's full of flavor and topped with a melted slice of cheddar cheese.

Prep Time

The prep time for this recipe is around 10 minutes. You'll need to gather your ingredients, form the patties, and season them.

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is around 10-12 minutes. It's important to cook the burgers to the proper temperature to ensure they're safe to eat.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • Lettuce, tomato, and onion for toppings (optional)

Equipment

  • Grill or stovetop griddle
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Meat thermometer

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well, but do not overwork the meat.
  2. Form the meat into 4 equal-sized patties. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
  3. Preheat your grill or griddle to medium-high heat.
  4. Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
  5. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and let it melt.
  6. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or griddle.
  7. Assemble the burgers by placing the patty on the bottom bun, and adding lettuce, tomato, and onion if desired.
  8. Place the top bun on the burger and serve.

Notes

Make sure to let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a juicier burger.

Recipe FAQ

Absolutely! You can use any type of cheese you like. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but feel free to experiment with other types of cheese.

Can I use a different type of ground meat?

Yes, you can use ground turkey or ground chicken if you prefer. Just be aware that the cooking time may be different.

Can I make these burgers ahead of time?

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your grill or griddle is preheated before cooking the burgers. This helps to sear the meat and prevent sticking.
  • Don't press down on the burgers while they're cooking. This can cause the juices to escape and result in a dry burger.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the burgers are cooked to the proper temperature.
  • Toast the hamburger buns for added flavor and texture.
