Beef & Cheese Delight (Printable)

Double beef patties with melted cheese layers, perfect for burger lovers seeking a classic American delight.

# What You Need:

01 - 2/3 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)

02 - 4 slices American cheese (or cheddar)

03 - 1/2 tsp kosher salt

04 - 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

05 - 4 slices dill pickle

06 - 2 slices tomato

07 - 4 slices grilled onion

08 - 2 lettuce leaves

09 - 1 tbsp butter or neutral oil

01 - Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and flatten each into a patty about 1/3 inch thick.

02 - Season both sides of each patty generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

03 - Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add butter or neutral oil.

04 - Place patties in the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.

05 - During the final minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on top of two patties and let melt completely.

06 - Stack one cheese-topped patty with a plain patty, cheese side facing down, to create two double-patty stacks with cheese sandwiched between.

07 - Layer optional toppings including pickles, tomato, grilled onion, and lettuce between the patties if desired.

08 - Serve hot while the cheese remains melted and the patties are at peak temperature.

01 -

The cheese gets sandwiched and melts into both patties creating that irresistible gooey center
You can go full keto without sacrificing that fast-food satisfaction youve been craving
Its ready in 20 minutes flat and cleanup is basically nonexistent

02 -

Pressing down on patties while cooking squeezes out all those precious juices. Resist the urge and let them sizzle undisturbed
The cheese placement matters putting it between patties keeps it from melting onto your pan and creates that signature gooey layer

03 -

Room temperature beef cooks more evenly so take it out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking
Use a cast iron skillet if you have one it holds heat beautifully and creates the best crust
