1 to 1.5 pounds ground beef (depending on how big you like your burgers)
Salt and pepper
Your favorite burger toppings (mayo, lettuce, pickle, etc!)
Instructions
Cut a 1 inch slice off the top and bottom of each tomato and place on a paper towel to drain a little. Save the middle to use in something else (chop them up for salads, etc.)
Toss the beef with a little salt and pepper and form into patties. Heat a griddle or pan to high and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare (longer if you like your burgers well done.
Spread the tomato slice tops and bottoms with mayo and/or other toppings. Place a burger on each tomato bun bottom, and cover with tomato tops.
Take a big bite, and have napkins ready – these are juicy!
Ground beef: We always recommend 80/20 fat content ground beef for any kind of burger, but you can definitely go leaner if you want. Or use ground turkey!
Tomatoes: If I can find heirloom tomatoes those are my first choice, but beefsteak tomatoes work just fine as well.
