Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef chuck
  • 4 teaspoons softened butter
  • 4 hamburger buns split
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 4 slices melting cheese
  • Toppings such as shredded iceberg lettuce, pickle chips, thinly sliced red onion, mustard, ketchup, and mayonnaise

Instructions

  • Heat the broiler. Place each beef round between two layers of plastic wrap after cutting it into four rounds. Roll the beef into patties that are 1/4 inch thick using a rolling pin. There is butter inside each bun. Place with the butter side up on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler.
  • Over high heat, preheat a sizable cast-iron skillet or griddle. Patties should be liberally seasoned with salt and pepper on both sides. Burgers should be cooked for 1 to 2 minutes in batches. Each one is turned over, and cheese is placed on top. Then, the pan is covered and cooked for an additional one to two minutes. Burgers should be placed on buns and topped as desired.
