Ingredients

Cook Mode

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
• 1/4 cup yellow onion, diced
• salt and pepper
• 3 seeded (or not) hamburger buns
• 3 slices of cheddar or american cheese
• 2 tbsp butter, for toasting (optional)

Preparation

1

If you are using charcoal, get that started - the coals will warm as you prepare the patties.

2

To a medium bowl add the ground beef. Small-dice the onion and then add that to the bowl as well. Mix.

3

Prepare a tray (or plate or sheet pan) lined with parchment paper. Separate the ground beef into 3 parts, round them into a ball shape (don't overwork it), and then form them into patties that are 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Place each patty on the tray.

4

Using your palm, create an indentation (or dimple) in the middle of each patty. This will prevent them from puffing up in the center when the cook.

5

Season the tops of the patties with salt and pepper (or whatever spices you'd like to use).

6

Throw the patties on the grill when it is ready. Cook each side of the burger for about 2 1/2 minutes for medium, and 3 minutes for well. It's ok to flip the burger but be careful not to press it as this will release the fat and juices.

7

(Optional) Split the buns, butter the cut sides, and toast them cut-side down on a hot skillet, griddle, or grill for about 10 seconds to 1 minute.

8

Assemble the burgers by placing each in their own bun, adding ketchup, mustard, or whatever toppings you desire. Enjoy!
