# Ingredients:
→ Beef Patties
01 -
80/20 beef mince, 450 g
02 -
Ground black pepper, as you like
03 -
Salt, as needed
→ Toppings
04 -
½ cup (60 g) sliced dill pickles

06 -
1 cup (60 g) chopped crisp lettuce, romaine or iceberg
07 -
Sharp cheddar, 4 slices
→ Assembly
08 -
BBQ sauce, 2 tablespoons
09 -
4 pillowy hamburger buns
# Steps:
01 -
Start with the bottom bun, stack on your warm beef patty, throw on some crunchy lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, a bit of BBQ sauce, and slap on the top. Dig in while they’re fresh.
02 -
Let the buns heat up on the grill or in your skillet until they look golden and a little crispy.
03 -
When your patties are almost done, place a cheddar slice on each. Toss on a lid or some foil to help it melt fast.
04 -
Pop the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or however done you like them.
05 -
Press your thumb gently in the middle of each patty so it dips in. This keeps them from puffing up.
06 -
Throw the beef, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Split the mix into four chunks, then shape them into patties around 2.5 cm thick.
07 -
Get your grill going on medium-high or put your cast-iron skillet on medium to warm up.
# Notes:
01 -
Give those patties a ten-minute room-temp break before cooking for more flavor.
02 -
Don’t squish or overwork your ground beef, or you’ll lose that juicy bite.
