Our Favorite Easy Cheeseburgers
These are family's favorite easy cheeseburgers! They come together so quickly and you can easily cook them on the grill or even inside on a cast iron. We just use ground beef and spices to make a simple & flavorful burger. The kids love them too! You just mix up the meat, flatten out your burger, grill, and assemble! You can also prep the burgers in the morning to grill later or even double the recipe to freeze half to make it easy on you next time!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
For the burgers:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1½ tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp coriander
For assembling:
- burger buns we love Dave's Killer Bread
- sliced cheese we used cheddar
- lettuce
- tomato
- red onion
- bread & butter pickles we love McClure's
- ketchup & mustard
Instructions
- Pat dry beef with paper towels to get rid of excess moisture.
- Using a fork, break down the beef and then add seasonings. Mix the beef together until all incorporated. Divide into 4 patties.
- To make them thin, place a square of parchment paper down, add on the beef circle, another sheet of parchment, and then flatten with a hard flat surface. We used a pan. Or you can easily just press them out with your hands if you prefer.
- Fire up the grill and cook on each side for about 2-3 min. They cook super fast since they're thin. Or you can cook them in a cast iron with avocado oil until desired doneness. Add cheese to one side and let it melt on top.
- Assemble your burgers. Burger bun, lettuce, tomato, red onion, bread and butter pickles, ketchup and mustard. Or however you like yours! Enjoy!
Notes
For Storing: Store leftover cooled burger patties in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
For Freezing: Stick a piece of parchment paper between each patty you want to freeze and freeze in a plastic freezer bag! Thaw or cook straight from frozen.
