Ingredients

🥩 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20)
🧂 1 teaspoon onion powder
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🌶️ 1 teaspoon Tony's seasoning or Cajun seasoning
🧀 4 slices of cheese (American or cheddar)
🍞 4 burger buns
🧈 2 tablespoons butter
🥗 Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise

Instructions

1- Prepare the Beef:

• In a bowl, add the ground beef and season with onion powder, garlic powder, and Tony's seasoning.
• Mix the seasonings into the ground beef until well combined, but avoid overmixing to preserve the texture.

2- Form the Patties:

• Divide the seasoned beef into 4 equal portions.
• Roll each portion into a ball, then lightly flatten into patties. They should be about 4 inches in diameter.

3- Cook the Patties:

• Heat a large non-stick pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.
• Once the butter is melted and bubbling, place the patties on the skillet.
• Using a sturdy spatula, smash the patties flat until they're about half an inch thick.
• Cook for about 3 minutes on the first side until well browned.

4- Melt the Cheese:

• Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheese on top of each.
• Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked through.

5- Toast the Buns:

• Remove the patties from the pan and set them aside.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan.
• Once melted, place the burger buns in the pan, cut side down, and toast until golden brown.

6- Assemble the Burgers:

• Place the bottom half of the toasted buns on a plate.
• Add any desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, or pickles.
• Stack 1-2 cheese-covered patties on each bun.
• Top with condiments like ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise.
• Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
