Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 12 slices American cheese

- 1 tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter for grilling
Instructions
- Form the ground beef into 12 round even balls.
- Bring your griddle to medium high. Add the butter and oil. When the butter melts and the oil begins to smoke you are ready to cook.
- Place your meat on the griddle, use your spatula to smash them hard to flatten on the cooking surface.
- Season aggressively with salt and pepper.
- Flip your burgers when the edges of the patties begin to brown. Season again with salt and pepper.
- When the patties are close to being cooked through, add a piece of cheese to the top of each patty.
- When the burgers are done and the cheese is melted remove from the griddle.
- Add two patties to each bun and enjoy.
Notes
You can speed up the cheese melting process by using a squeeze bottle to spray a small amount of water onto the grill and then cover with a metal bowl or cover to trap the steam.
