The American cheeseburger is a classic dish with a juicy beef patty, melted cheese, and a tasty sauce. Great for a quick and filling meal!
Ingredients: 1 lb ground beef. 4 burger buns. 4 slices of cheddar cheese. 1/4 cup mayonnaise. 2 tbsp ketchup. 2 tbsp mustard. 1/2 onion, sliced. 4 lettuce leaves. 4 tomato slices. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Preheat grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place burger patties on the grill or in the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or longer for desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt. While the burgers cook, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly browned. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard to make the sauce. Assemble the burgers by spreading sauce on the bottom half of each bun, then add lettuce, tomato, onion, and a cheese-topped patty. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
