Sink your teeth into this perfect burger—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and loaded with flavor. Here’s how to make it:
🔥 Ingredients:
-
1 lb ground chuck (80/20 for best flavor)
-
1 tsp salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
-
4 brioche buns (buttered & toasted)
-
Lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles
-
Your favorite condiments (mayo, ketchup, mustard)
🍳 Instructions:
-
Form Patties: Divide ground beef into 4 equal balls. Gently flatten into patties, slightly larger than your buns. Don’t overwork the meat!
-
Season: Sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
-
Grill or Skillet: Cook over medium-high heat for ~3–4 min per side (for medium doneness). Add cheese in the last minute and cover to melt.
-
Toast Buns: Toast the buttered brioche buns until golden.
-
Assemble: Stack it up—bun, lettuce, burger, cheese, tomato, onion, pickles, and top bun.
-
Serve: Slice in half for the perfect cross-section shot and devour immediately!

This we will try
No favorite, but I want to echo your “80/20” meat mix. If you use one of the leaner packages, you’re going to lose moisture and flavor. If you want juicy and delicious, you need a decent amount of fat.
So, when are we all invited to lunch?
