The Best Cheeseburgers
Beef is delicious on its own – it is a high-quality protein that is tender, juicy, and full of natural flavor. The most important tip for making the perfect burgers is to keep it simple. You don’t need a bunch of mix-ins, or you’re just masking the flavor of the beef. Remember it’s not a meatloaf, but a burger.
We’ve ordered burgers from countless restaurants, from nicer steak houses to fast food and we always come back to these homemade cheeseburgers. Making your own patty from scratch will produce the best juicy burger and I can’t resist a generous amount of crisp and fresh toppings (no more soggy lettuce).
Follow our tips below and you will be known for making the best hamburgers!

Toppings
You want all of your toppings ready to go to assemble the hamburgers when the patties are hot and ready. Toast the buns and prepare toppings first, then cook burger patties. When building a perfect burger, pick toppings that will add appealing texture, color, and flavor.
- Sliced cheese (our favorite is thick-sliced, medium cheddar)
- Dill pickle slices
- Fresh red onions (or caramelized onions)
- Tomato,
- Green leaf or iceberg lettuce,
- Avocado
- Bacon + pineapple + the BBQ sauce below
- Jalapeños to add some heat
![All of the best toppings for making homemade hamburgers Classic burger toppings with buns, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, pickles, red onion and sauces](https://natashaskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Best-Burger-2.jpg)
The Best Hamburger Buns
- Potato Buns – Our top choice because they are the softest with great flavor
- Pub-Style buns – soft, tall, restaurant-style
- Classic Sesame Seed Buns – inexpensive and classic
- Brioche Bun – has a sweeter flavor
- Pretzel Buns – denser but least likely to get mushy
How to Make Hamburger Patties
- Use Ground Chuck Beef (80/20) – grind your own or buy it ground, but 20% fat is ideal and keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to use it.
- Don’t overwork your meat – this will make it tough and dense.
- Shape the patties 1” wider than the bun since they shrink on the grill.
- Make an indentation in the center to prevent it from plumping up in the center.
- Don’t Season too early – Salt changes the structure of proteins and toughens burgers so don’t season your ground beef until you have formed your patties and are ready to grill.
- Get a good Sear – Once on the grill, let patties brown and sear well (3-5 min) before flipping, and do not press down on the burger save that for making Smash Burgers.
![How to shape and season hamburger patties Formed burger patties with indent in center](https://natashaskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Best-Burger-9.jpg)
Pro Tip: If you prefer a thicker, beefier patty, try making 1/3 lb patties, but keep in mind, the grilling time will be longer with thicker patties.
How to Tell When Burgers are Done
Whether you are working with fresh ground beef or fully thawed, the recommendation is that cooked patties should feel firm to the touch and be cooked to 160˚F on an instant-read thermometer. Keep in mind that color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness so do not cut into it to check or the juices will drain out just like with a steak.
Can I Cook Hamburgers on the Stovetop?
Yes! Most restaurants cook on a cast iron skillet. Heat the skillet over medium/high heat and add a high heat oil (not butter), adding just enough to lightly coat the bottom. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, add burger patty and sauté without moving it for 3 to 5 minutes per side the same way you would on a grill, cooking to a safe internal temperature of 160˚F on an instant-read thermometer.
How to Assemble Burgers
There are differing opinions on how to build a burger. My husband’s first job was at Chilis®️ where he learned how to put together a restaurant-style burger. Here is how the pros assemble their burgers:
- Sauce – Apply a generous amount of sauce to both buns (see below for our favorite burger sauces).
- Toppings – Place pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, and red onion onto the bottom bun
- Patty – Place cheesy burger patty over the veggies and cover with top bun

The Best Burger Sauce
We love a good aioli (flavored mayo) for burgers. These are super easy to whip up and have impressive flavor. The adult favorite around here is the BBQ aioli and the kids’ favorite is “Fry Sauce.” Experiment and make them all for a seriously impressive (but easy) burger sauce spread!

I hope this Burger Recipe becomes a new favorite for you. Over the years, we have tried all kinds of burger recipes – stuffed burgers, various beef mix-ins, and seasonings, but we keep coming back to this classic beef burger. It’s so simple but with hamburgers, the simplest recipe really is the best.

Perfect Hamburger Recipe
![Hamburger with Cheese](https://natashaskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Cheeseburger-150x150.jpg)
Ingredients
Burger Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground chuck beef, (80/20)
- fine sea salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Classic Cheeseburger Toppings:
- 4 burger buns
- 4 slices medium cheddar cheese, (thick sliced)
- 1 large tomato, sliced into 8 rings
- 8 leaves green leaf lettuce
- 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced into rings
- 1/2 cup dill pickle slices
Instructions
- Slice, and prepare all of your burger toppings and sauces.
- Spread the cut-side of the bun with softened or melted butter and toast the cut side on a skillet or on the grill until golden brown. You can toast the bun ahead or in the last couple of minutes with the burgers on the grill. Toasting the bun adds great flavor and prevents a soggy bun.
- Preheat grill to medium heat. Divide ground beef into 4 portions and form patties that are about 1/2" thick and 1" wider than the burger buns. Season patties generously with salt and pepper.
- Grill hamburger patties (indent-side-up) covered for 3-5 min each side on the grill. Flip burgers when juices are accumulating on top of the burger and you have a good sear. Apply cheese in the last 1-2 minutes of grilling then cover with the lid and cook until the internal temperature of beef reaches 160˚F.
Notes
- BBQ Aioli: 1/3 cup mayo + 1 tsp BBQ Sauce (we love sweet BBQ)
- Mustard Aioli: 1/3 cup mayo + 1 tsp yellow mustard
- Dijon Aioli: 1/3 cup mayo + 1 tsp dijon mustard
- Fry Sauce: 1/3 cup mayo + 1 Tbsp ketchup
I made these today using Wegmans 80/20 organic ground beef. Followed the techniques and cooking instructions exactly. Iron skillet on the stove, coconut oil and don’t forget to cover. This is the way to make juicy, plump burgers at home! Always wondered my mine used to shrink so much!
Thanks a lot for sharing! Good to know that you liked it!
Question…I grill hamburgers on the grill quite a bit, even making the indention, but my hamburger meat always falls apart in the grill, pieces, falling through the grates sometimes and I use 80/20…what am I doing wrong?
It could be the quality of ground beef, low cooking temperature, overworking your meat, and the starting temperature. Read through my blog post above for my tips and recommendations to getting the best results.
Pack your hamburger patties into balls super tight before flattening into burger shape. I typically weigh the balls out to 7-8 oz. Make sure your grill is preheated to 500 or so. If you are using fatty beef, watch for flare ups and move the patties around if needed or use a spray bottle of water.
Such a fun lesson ! Thanks, Natasha ! Stay healthy and stay safe !
I hope you love this recipe!
Making burgers at home with family is one of my favorite summer activities!
It really is the best summer activity! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
I know it sounds silly, but I’ve always felt intimidated to make my own hamburger patties. But not anymore! These burgers were easy to make and truly perfect. Thank you!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Samantha!
Now THIS is how you make a burger! Thank you so much for the awesome tips, yum!
You’re welcome, April!
We made this last night for Father’s Day! They really were the best burgers we’ve ever made. Juicy! Your tips, suggestions & directions were super! We had the deli cut the slices of cheddar thick for our use. We made two of the mayo sauces – BBQ & Yellow Mustard. Both were excellent. I added an extra teaspoon of BBQ Sauce (G Hughes Sugar Free Hickory) but the other sauce was done as written. We’d rather make these burgers than ordering burgers out. Thank you for another great recipe!!
The best meal for Father’s Day! Great choice, Eileen! I’m so glad these were a hit!
Hey, the burger is looking so juicy and delicious. All the steps are explained clearly. Thanks for sharing the tips.
You’re very welcome!
The Best Burger Recipe-Is THE BEST BURGER EVER!!!!
I will be making this again for Memorial Day and a Special Request: Your Most yummy chocolate cake will be part of the dessert menu!!!!
I will also make this for 4th of July since it is such a Big Hit with my Family:)
Your The Best Natasha!!!!
Thanks Again
Hi Melinda! Thank you so much for the feedback. So glad you love this recipe and the chocolate cake recipe!
These are so quick and easy, juicy and so delicious!!! Thank You 🙂
You’re welcome, Vicky! 🙂
Привіт, Наташа. My “trick” for better burgers is to put my ground meat in a large mixing bowl, and to knead or mix in my salt and spices before I form my patties. The flavor turns out much better than sprinkling the salt and seasonings on the outside of the patties. 🙂
Hi John, thank you for sharing. The primary reason we season the outside just before grilling is so the salt doesn’t draw moisture out of the patties and they turn out really juicy that way.
All your recipes add some sort of pepper. I wish they didn’t. Pepper is an individual taste. Specifically were kids are involved. I wish you would say salt and pepper to taste instead of making a definitive amount of pepper.
Hi Vito! Thank you for your feedback. Though I understand your concern, many of my readers really appreciate that I include the amount. If a certain amount is specified in a recipe, it is because it has been tested and I’ve had good results with that amount but yes, you are more than welcome to add the salt/pepper to taste and preference.
This is one of the strangest comments I have ever read. I am not a huge fan of black pepper, but just like anyone else who doesn’t like a certain spice or whatever in a recipe, I’d VERY easily and simple, adjust the amount, omit it or use a substitute. Or look up a recipe that suits your needs
I truly love the simplicity of your recipes….. with great taste…
must agree with all, your personality is catchy….you are fun to watch..
Thank you for that wonderful compliment, Carmen!
I love love love to watch you . You keep things simple so that anyone can do it . You are the cutest thing on the internet !! I’ve done several of your dishes and loved everyone of them … Thank You for being here …
Aww, that is so sweet. Thank you, Debbie. So glad you enjoy my recipes.
Hi Natasha, your hamburgers and all your food always delicious, I can eat from the screen. Do you have recipe for a Salisbury Steak with grave, onion and mushroom? My Steak always comes out hard. I wish you all the best.
Hi Beverly, thank you! I’m happy to know you enjoy my recipes. Yes, I do, you can search for any of my recipes by using the search bar above. You can view the Salisbury Steak Recipe HERE. 🙂
I usually make a bunch (12) at a time. I put 3 raw eggs, 1 pouch of Lipton’s onion soup mix, and a little BBQ sauce (Stubbs) over about 4lbs of 90% ground beef. Make the patties (I like them thick), put them on a tray raw and stick them in the refrigerator for about a half-hour. Then pull them out and cook.
Love you and all your videos.
I like that your recipes are not complicated and easy to make. Your personality is great and your fun to watch.
You’re so nice! Thank you for that wonderful compliment, Marsha!
I was never able to get burgers evenly cooked until I made these. They took about 3- 3 1/2 minutes per side, and I just seasoned generously with salt and pepper. I added cheese when I flipped them over a third time. Yummy!
Hi Rebecca, great to hear that you enjoyed this burger recipe. Thank you for your review!
By far the best burgers I’ve ever had were made @ home on the stovetop:
50% ground check (70/30 or 75/25)
50% ground sirloin (90/10)
Chopped bacon
A1 steak sauce
1. Chop up raw bacon.
2. Mix both type of meat, bacon, and steak sauce to taste.
3. Form patties and cook just as you described.
Thank you so much for sharing that with us, David!
Hi
Can I make the burgers on the stove instead of on the grill?
Thanks
Hi Barb, yes that will work. Please see the instruction provided in the recipe that says “Can I Cook Burgers on the Stovetop?” for instructions.
Where can I get that meat thermometer?
Hi Lesley, we use this Instant Read Thermometer HERE.
I love the simple recipe. Definitely l will introduce it to my clients. Thanks a lot. Thus yummy mummy😋
Glad that you love this recipe. Hope your clients will love it too.
Dear Natasha, thank you for the great recipe!
Just want to ask if there is any quality difference if i use thawed ground meat instead of fresh? I think the thawed ground meat is less firm and may break the burger apart upon grilling?
Hi Irina, that may impact it! We prefer and try to use fresh when we can.
BBQ alloi sauce is perfect but I added a 1/4 teaspoon of dijon mustard and it just was even more perfect
Nice to know that it turned out great! Thanks for your review.
So amazing natasha love it
i made this and my family love this recipe.
Thanks for share with us.
Glad they enjoyed this recipe, Emily!
I have made burgers before and I always grind my own meat, but I always added onions and egg to the mix, thinking the onions added flavor and the egg helped to keep the meat together. Turns out, I was overthinking it and this recipe is perfect as there was nothing more I needed added to the high-quality chuck I bought for this recipe. Everyone loved it, so this is a winner now!
Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Me too!
i absolutely loved the smashed meat flavour and technique is really something i admire!
I never was one to cook very often, I’m pretty basic and have very few recipes that involve much effort. After discovering your site, I’ve learned to love cooking. Everything I make from your recipes turn out fantastic. Thank you for you!
Aww, that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m all smiles
Love you’re recipes and your pleasant presentations. You are fun to watch and learn from. Thank you so much. Stay well.
Thank you for that wonderful compliment!
Thank you so much, Pat. I’m glad you’re enjoying my recipes!
I make your mayo BBQ sauce, but I also add a little worchestershire sauce. Love your recipes.
Yum! That sounds delicious! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Super votre hamburger
I am looking for the recipe for the burgers. You said it is ketchup and mayonnaise. I can’t find the ratio. Can you help me with that?
Hi Arlene, for reference, I have it listed at the bottom of the recipe card and it is also on the sauce photo with text overlay. Fry Sauce: 1/3 cup mayo + 1 Tbsp ketchup
These are perfect burgers and we love the BBQ aioli
Thank you so much, Vicky for your great review.
Hi Natasha,
We made burgers for dinner tonight with a twist. I added a fried egg and a rasher of bacon to each burger. The family loved the meal.
Thanks.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Henry!
Why do the aioli sauces not contain garlic as the name denotes?
Do you really recommend this burger for My New Restaurant?
I recommend trying it out first to see if you will like it!
Can you share the link to the meat thermometer you use in the video? Is it one you would recommend?
Hi Alyssa, we use this Instant Read Thermometer HERE.
Tried it and everyone loved it. Do you have a fish burger recipe as well? I love to make your recipes
I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Shan! I do not at this time but thank you for that suggestion!
This is a really great recipe and I’m no longer putting unnecessary additions to my minced beef. One really good tip is to use a blow torch on the cheese – it gives it the most amazing caremelised taste!
Thank you for your good comments and suggestion, Lizzy. We appreciate it!
This is a different twist to burgers what a surprise bugger.
In your mincemeat add a cap full of Soy sauce.
one cap full of Worcestershire sauce.
one cap full of kecap Manis sauce otherwise known as Sweet Soy Sauce.
Mix well and let it sit.
In the meantime shred some mozzarella cheese,
Make a hamburger patty and put some cheese on it. Make another patty and place it in top of the other patty, Seal the edges all around and bake them in the oven with a pan underneath to catch the drippings. Turn the burgers over to let the other side cook.
Place the buggers in the bun and bite into it. The melted cheese will tantalize your taste buds.
Thank you for sharing these tips with us, Frank!
I love your recipes and cooking methods😊 I look forward to them every day!
Thank you for that wonderful compliment! I’m so glad you’re enjoying our recipes.
You should be on the Food Channel! Your presentations are so beautifully put together and are always delicious! Not to mention your’re so adorable and fun to watch!
You’re so nice! Thank you for that wonderful compliment!
Thank you Natasha, had moose burger this evening your style. Excellent sauce and bun tips.
That’s so great! Thank you for sharing that with me Eirik!
Excellent recipe, amazing presentation!
I tried the burger, must admit, added a couple of tweaks and it came out fantastic.
Thank you for your awesome feedback, Andy. I’m glad you loved it!
I really enjoyed your vid with the burger. Love the way you chuck things over your shoulder. Love your humour. Will be following from Australia to see what you cook up next
I’m so happy you’re enjoying our recipe, Julie! Thank you for that amazing review!
Nothing special. Its a burger with salt & pepper.
Nothing special, just a chump. 💁🏼♀️
Recipes looks delicious but they seem very high fat and calories. Each time I see something I want to make the nutrition content puts me off.
Thank you so much for sharing that feedback with us!
The best burger with the real american flavor. I was worried about just put salt and pepper to the burger , but it was perfect!! I’m from Chile!!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that Jimena!
Synchrodestiny my dear Natasha. This is the recipe I need for today’s burgers and your email came in at the right time! Thanks! and Happy 4th July!
I love when that happens! I’m happy to hear you’re reading our newsletter! Thank you for that wonderful feedback!
Hey Natasha!! I just followed this recipe and made burgers for dinner tonight and I’m sold. Will never make burgers any other way. Also, I bought mayo just to make some fry sauce from your recipe and you are right, the sauce is everything!
So wonderful to hear that, Megan. I am so glad you loved the burgers and the sauce!
I used chicken mince and these were the BEST burgers I have ever made.
So nice to know that. Thanks for sharing that info with us and for your excellent feedback!
cool
WOW!!! For years, we’ve just used Sam’s frozen 80/20 burgers with Montreal Steak seasoning & store brand mild cheddar cheese. Made these yesterday, following your recipe exactly, & EVERYONE commented on how delicious they were!! I was worried just salt & pepper wouldn’t be flavorful enough, but I was wrong..they were great!! Thick cheddar & those potato buns really made a difference, too!! We also sautéed some mushrooms & had bacon for toppings, & your sauces were a nice extra! This is our new go-to burger recipe! Thanks, Natasha!!
You’re welcome, Ginny! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Can the patties be made ahead?
Hi Joy yes it can be made ahead
I never thought a burger can taste this good without the mix-ins! BUT it is delicious! Another family favorite! Love the sauces!
I’m so glad you found a new family favorite! That’s so great!
Hi Natasha, I am Australian and we always have a certain item on our burgers. You should try it – a slice of beetroot. Really good. Worth a try. Your burgers look amazing. Thank you.
Great idea! Thank you for your suggestion.
Hi Natasha,
Love your recipes. THANKS!!
What is the meaning of “ground chuck beef (80/20)” are there 2 part of 2 different meats? what are they?
Hi, that is the fat content – 80% lean, 20% fat.
Natasha,
When making the Burgers don’t I add anything other spices to the Meat Mixture?
Hi Maria, we use just what you see on the recipe list. You don’t need a bunch of mix-ins, or you’re just masking the flavor of the beef. If you want to change up the flavor, do that with the amazing burger sauces and toppings in the recipe.
What bun is featured? Mine never look that good. Also, do you have a recipe for a homemade bun? I just made your shrimp “fritters” with lemon aioli. Oh my, they were good!
Hi Cheri, we used a brioche bun that I purchased at our local Fred Meyer. I actually saw similar ones at Costco the other day. They are pretty and lightly sweet which makes the burger even better.
Hello Natasha
just had dinner n this hamburger is just out of this world, so simple and yet so delish thx for sharine such a wonderful recipe
You’re welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed that!
Best ever burger recipe i have tried so far. I have tried this burger recipe and it is very easy to make and very delicious in taste.
Thanks for the good feedback. I’m glad you loved it!
Salting RIGHT before I put the burgers on the grill made SUCH a difference when I cooked these last night! my best burgers yet! Thank you!
Yay so happy about your great feedback, thank you for giving this recipe a try!
Very good and simple recipe my favorite sauce is probably mayo and bbq actually all of sauces ate good
Sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing and giving a great review.
I recently bought pre made beef patties from the grocery store meaning I wont actually be forming the patties prior to cooking – would this still work for the recipe? thinking of making this tonight as the patties need to be used !
Hi Victoria! That should work.
Super simple and delicious recipe! Thank you! 😀
You’re welcome and thanks for your nice feedback!
This recipe is simple, easy, and deilcious! We only did salt and pepper, but the tips on pattying the burgers and when to apply seasonings were really helpful. We did use the mayo + ketchup aolie and that was delicious on the burgers as well as our homemade baked sweet potato fries!
I’m so glad you enjoyed that! Thank you for sharing that with me!
Can you please let me know if I can do the burgers in the oven and how…No grill at the moment
Hi Stefanie, I haven’t tested that but I think it could work. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
Stephanie, I just made these burgers in the oven and they were fantastic! I actually always use the broil setting for my burgers in the winter, not too close to the broiler for 7 mins one side and 8 mins on the other side and then 1 min with the cheese and it was sooooooo good!
Hi Natasha, just made these burgers for lunch today. My Super Fussy Husband liked them, “very tasty” Which in SFH language means yummy and I like them’ Thank you!
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Desiann!
I have tried several of your recipes and love to watch the videos. My three year old son loves to watch them too and this one is his favourite (and he doesn’t even like burgers!), he asks to watch it all the time. I’ve even heard him saying “Chuck knows beef” randomly. Thank you for all that you do!
Wow! That’s so great! I’m so happy to hear stories just like this! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Rebecca!
Excellent recipe. All explained in detail and simple.
Great recipe and advise. For the fry sauce try swapping out bottled chili sauce you know the stuff next to the ketchup aisle instead of ketchup with your mayonnaise, it’ll add a little Zing to your sauce.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
I only ever use your recipes. If im looking for something specific, i usually search your blog first and if it’s not there, only THEN do I start looking elsewhere. But usually you have what im looking for. Also love the Ukrainian recipes.
Btw, these are amazing burgers! Is this freezer friendly? When do you salt if frozen?
Hi Oksana, I highly recommend making the burger from scratch with ground beef. Some frozen patties have seasoning or salt in them already and there is no great time to salt them.
Thanks, heaps Natasha this has really helped me decide on the right burger to make for my Hospitality Prac assessment this term.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
We LOVE the potato buns. Thanks for the post. Some of your tips are new to me.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I like the burger sauces. Now that we are in to BLT season I am using the mayo Dijon sauce in place of straight mayo on my BLT. Gentles the entire sandwich nicely.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
We grilled these for the 4th of July and they were delicious. We buy our beef at our farmers market. I have not used the potato buns before but I will from now on and we made the BBQ Aioli. We served them with your grilled corn with garlic lime butter. I just found you through pinterest and I will be cooking more of your recipes. Thank You
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Vicky! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review
I also add eggs and onion to the mixture and some people swear by Worcestershire sauce. These are all negotiable. What does make a huge difference is a good meat (we get ours from a local butcher) and charcoal grill.
Hi Irina, I agree the meat quality is so important! Thank you for sharing that with me!
These looks amazing! We usually add a packet of ranch powder to about a pound and a half of meat, also delish!
Woah that sounds pretty awesome! Do you mix the ranch into the ground beef or just season the patties with it?
You have to create the home made burger buns recipes for the besr 🍔 ever!!!
oooh that sounds wonderful! If you have a recipe you could share, I would love to try it! Thank you Uliya!
Great burger, but you need to check anatomy of burger from Americantestkitchen.
Thanks Anka!! We did thorough research although it’s true that not all sources agree how a burger should be stacked. This is also the way my husband built his burgers when he worked at Chilis so it is more restaurant style.
How do you grill a burger without it falling through the grill? Do you use aluminum foil on the grill?
Hi Susan, We did not use the foil. The burger meat should not fall through the girll.
Made as directed.. Hubby& I loved it.So juicy loved the BBQ Sauce. TY Natasha.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m happy you enjoyed that!
I’ve been grilling burgers for a few years now and let me tell you.. this.. this is a game changer! Such simple but delicious tips really do make the burgers SOO much better. I would have never thought to toast the bun but oh my goodness.. i’ll never make burgers without the toasted bun again.. oh and the sauce.. wow.. I mixed mayo, ketchup, and mustard and slathered it on those deliciously crispy buns.. no words Natasha.. seriously no words.. just pure amazement of the deliciousness.. my husband agrees 100% that these are the best burgers I have ever made.. Thank you so much!
Your comment made my day! I’m so happy you loved the burgers and thank you for the fantastic review!
When you use a cast iron skillet with burgers do you use a lid? Thanks.
Hi Mary! We did not use a lid.
Love this classic burger! Tastes better than the ones at the restaurant.
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Suzy!
This burger is mouthwatering! I love how easy it is and my family loves it.
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your awesome review! Have a great weekend!
Such great tips! I’ll be using them for our Memorial Day BBQ this weekend!
I’m so glad you found the tips helpful! We tried to be as thorough as possible and we sure ate a ton of burgers over the past few weeks!
This burger is mouthwatering and definitely restaurant worthy! Delicious!
I’m so glad you loved the burgers!! Thank you Beth!!
