Introduction
This recipe shares the secrets to making the ultimate juicy cheeseburgers at home. Using 80/20 ground chuck beef, simple seasonings, custom burger sauces, and toasted potato buns, you can easily achieve restaurant-quality burgers on the grill.
Step 1
Prepare the fresh toppings: cut the green leaf lettuce into bun-sized pieces, slice the tomato into thin rings, and thinly slice half of a red onion.
Step 2
Generously butter the cut sides of the potato buns with softened or melted butter.
Step 3
Whisk together your favorite burger sauces (such as mayonnaise mixed with BBQ sauce, ketchup, or mustard) and preheat the grill to medium heat.
Step 4
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal pieces and gently shape them into round patties about 1 inch wider than your burger buns.
Step 5
Right before grilling, season both sides of the patties generously with salt and pepper, then use a spoon to press a small well in the center of each patty.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using 80/20 ground chuck is essential because the 20% fat content ensures a tender, juicy burger.
Do not salt the ground beef in advance; only season the outside of the patties right before they go on the grill to keep the meat tender.
The indentation in the center of the patty prevents it from shrinking into a dome shape while cooking.
Always cook ground beef to a safe internal temperature of 160°F as measured with a food thermometer.
