Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 brioche buns
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1 white onion
- Lettuce
- Pickles, sliced
- Smash Kitchen Classic Tomato Ketchup
Instructions
- Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, slightly larger than the size of your buns. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover the pan to melt the cheese.
- While the patties are cooking, toast the buns in a separate skillet until golden brown.
- Take the buns out and then caramelize the onions in the same lightly greased skillet with a dash of water until they're softened and browned.
- Spread a thin layer of Smash Kitchen Organic Tomato Ketchup on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Then add the cheeseburger patty. Top with lettuce, a slice of tomato, caramelized onions, and a couple of pickle slices. Place the top bun on and gently press down.
