Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 sesame seed burger buns
  • 4 leaves of romaine lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
  • 4 dill pickles, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking oil for the pan

How to Make Cheesy Beef Burger

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overworking the meat.
  2. Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾ inch thick.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of cooking oil. Once hot, add the burger patties.
  4. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip them over and place a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover the skillet to help the cheese melt.
  5. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the burgers reach an internal temperature of 160°F for medium doneness.
  6. While the burgers are cooking, toast the sesame seed buns in a separate pan until golden brown.
  7. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cheesy patty, sliced tomato, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your melt-in-your-mouth cheesy beef burger!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use an 80/20 ground beef blend for the juiciest patties.
  • Don’t press down on the patties while cooking to keep them tender.
  • Allow the patties to rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices.
  • Experiment with different cheeses like Swiss or pepper jack for added flavor.

Easy Variations

  • Swap the cheddar for blue cheese or gouda for a different flavor profile.
  • Add caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms for a gourmet touch.
  • Try avocado slices or jalapeños for an extra kick.
  • Make it a double decker by stacking two patties with cheese on a single bun.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
  • A fresh side salad with a tangy vinaigrette
  • Coleslaw for a crunchy, creamy contrast
  • Onion rings for a classic burger joint feel

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for about 30 seconds, ensuring the burger is heated through.
