A perfectly seasoned hamburger that’s versatile for any meal, from BBQs to family dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 4 burger buns (brioche, whole wheat, or classic)
- 4 cheese slices (cheddar or American)

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into patties, making a small indent in the center.

- Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
- Stack the cooked patties on the bottom half of the buns, followed by lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Spread condiments on the top half and close the burgers.
- Serve hot while everything is fresh and flavorful.
Notes
Pair with crispy sweet potato fries or coleslaw. Experiment with toppings like avocado or sautéed mushrooms for a unique twist.
