Love your burgers thick and juicy? This recipe is for hearty and flavorful tavern burgers is the hamburger of your dreams!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pound ground beef chuck steak
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 slices American cheese
  • 2 hamburger rolls
  • Your choice of toppings: lettuce, ketchup, mayo, mustard, relish, sliced pickle, etc!

Instructions

  1. Divide the ground chuck into 2 portions and season the portions with salt and pepper.
  2. Gently form them into two thick burgers.
  3. Heat a cast iron pan or a griddle to medium high, and add butter. When the butter is melted, increase the heat to high and add the burgers. Cook them for three minutes on the first side WITHOUT moving them.
  4. After three minutes, flip them over carefully and cook them for another 2 minutes. Lay a piece of cheese on top and cover the skillet (if you are using a griddle, a large pot cover will work for this). Cook one more minute until the cheese is melted.
  5. Remove the burgers to a plate and let them rest for a minute or so. Place them on rolls with your choice of toppings (I like to layer them like this: bottom bun, lettuce, burger, ketchup, pickle slice, top of bun), open wide and take a bite!

Notes

This recipe is for medium rare burgers. If you like your burgers more well done, simply increase the cooking time on each side by a minute or two. One way or the other, add the cheese during the last minute of cooking.
