Description
This burger brings together juicy beef, melted cheddar, and rich butter for a truly indulgent experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- Lettuce, tomato, pickles (optional, for toppings)
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix the ingredients thoroughly, but be careful not to overwork the meat, as this can result in a tough patty.
- Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties. Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on your preferred level of doneness.
- While the patties are grilling, take a small saucepan and melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once the patties are nearly done, lay a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty, allowing it to melt for 1-2 minutes, achieving that perfect creamy layer.
- Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until they develop a light golden brown color. This adds a delicious crunch that complements the succulent patties.
- To assemble, drizzle some of the melted butter over each patty. Place a patty on each bun, then add your choice of toppings like fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
Use high-quality beef for the best flavor. Rest patties before serving to enhance tenderness.
