1

Make hamburger patties using ground beef, salt, and black pepper.

2

Use 20% fat ground beef, or leaner if not available.

3

Incorporate salt and pepper into the meat without compacting it too much.

4

Divide the meat into four portions, approximately 1/4 pound each.

5

Shape each portion into a patty, making it thinner in the middle than on the outside.

6

Heat a skillet over high heat and add a little oil to prevent sticking.

7

Cook the patties for a couple of minutes until they can be easily flipped and the color changes up the side.

8

Flip the patties without pressing down on them to retain juiciness.

9

After a couple of minutes, place cheddar cheese on top of the patties and leave in the skillet until the cheese melts.
