🧾 Ingredients:

500g ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
4 slices of American cheese
4 sesame seed burger buns
1 tbsp butter (for toasting buns)
Lettuce leaves
Tomato slices
Onion rings (raw or grilled)
Dill pickles
Ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise (optional)

👨‍🍳 Recipe Description – How to Make the Perfect Cheeseburger:

Shape the Patties
Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions and gently shape into round patties. Avoid over-handling to keep them juicy. Press a small indent in the center of each patty (helps it cook evenly).
Season and Grill
Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-fry over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover until melted.
Toast the Buns
Butter the inside of each bun and toast them in a pan or on the grill until golden brown.
Assemble Your Burger
Place lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by the cheesy patty, tomato, onions, and pickles. Add your favorite condiments and finish with the top bun.
Serve Hot
Enjoy immediately with crispy fries or a chilled drink for that full American diner experience!

🔥 Tips for the Best Cheeseburger Ever:

Use freshly ground beef for the juiciest results.
Don’t overpack your patties — keep them tender by handling lightly.
Melt your cheese properly by covering the pan while it’s on the patty.
Add a secret sauce (mix of mayo, ketchup, relish, and a dash of vinegar) for an extra flavor punch.
Let your burger rest for a minute before biting in — it helps the juices redistribute!
