Double Cheeseburger:
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 slices American cheese
4 hamburger buns
4 lettuce leaves
4 tomato slices
4 pickle slices
4 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp mustard
Instructions:
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and pepper. Mix together with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions, and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Grill the burgers for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on top of each burger and let it melt.
Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tbsp of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, a pickle slice, and a burger patty with melted cheese. Spread 1 tbsp of ketchup and 1 tsp of mustard on the top half of each bun, and place it on top of the burger.
