The Perfect Cheeseburger
—

Makes 4 burgers
Active Time: about 20 minutes
Total Time: about 20 minutes

You’ll need:

— 1 ½ pounds ground beef
— Salt and pepper
— ⅓ cup grated cheddar cheese
— ⅓ cup grated monterey jack cheese
— ⅓ cup mayonnaise
— 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
— Brioche buns, for serving
— Lettuce, sliced red onion, pickles, and ketchup, for serving
— Like fancy toppings? Blue cheese? Applewood smoked bacon? Avocado? A yummy runny-yolked egg? Get wild with all the garnishes of your choice.

Preheat grill with two zones: one with high heat and one with low heat. If you’re like me and don’t have easy access to an outdoor grill or bqq, then grab two grill plans and stick them on the stove. I personally love a pan grilled patty.

Season the ground beef with salt and pepper, and shape into 4 patties, each about ¾-inch thick. Do not overwork the meat.

Mix both kinds of cheese together in a small bowl. Stir together mayonnaise and mustard in another bowl.
Grill burgers 3 minutes over high heat, then flip and grill 3 minutes more. Transfer to low heat zone. Top each burger with a heaping 2 tablespoons cheese and close grill lid. Continue cooking over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes until medium rare.

Spread bottom of buns with mayonnaise mixture and top with lettuce, cheeseburger, sliced red onions, pickles, and ketchup. Serve immediately.

Enjoy!
