500 G of ground beef 500 g 1 lb of
0:51
ground beef preferably with about 20%
0:54
fat for a juicy Patty salt and pepper to
0:57
taste about 1 teaspoon of salt and half
1:00
a teaspoon of pepper for this amount two
1:02
to three slices of cheddar cheese or
1:04
your choice of melting cheese two burger
1:07

Brio lettuce leaves a few slices of
1:14
tomato and a couple of pickle slices
1:17
optional toppings ketchup mustard or
1:20
mayonnaise When selecting ground beef
1:23
try to go for meat with around 20% fat
1:26
content this helps the burger stay juicy
1:29
and adds that mouthwatering flavor also
1:32
always handle the meat gently
1:34
overworking it can make the burger tough
1:37
now let's get started with the patties
1:40
take the ground beef and gently form it
1:42
into round patties try to make them just
1:45
slightly larger than your burger buns as
1:47
they cook they will shrink a bit so this
1:50
step will give you that perfect burger
1:52
to bun ratio make a small indentation in
1:55
the center of each Patty with your thumb
1:57
this helps the Patty cook evenly and
2:00
keeps it from puffing up in the middle
2:02
once you have shaped your patties season
2:04
them with salt and pepper on both sides
2:07
remember simple seasoning brings out the
2:09
beef's natural flavors without

overpowering it just a teaspoon of salt

2:43
patties for about 4 minutes per side
2:46
this gives a juicy burger with a slight
2:48
pink Center once you flip the patties
2:51
add a slice of cheese on top of each one
2:53
while they're still cooking this way the

gooey delicious layer we all love on a
3:00

3:02
lid or dome for a few seconds to help
3:05
the cheese melt faster while the patties
3:07
