Cheeseburger with cheddar comes together from a juicy beef patty topped with melted cheese in a toasted bun with fresh vegetables and homemade sauce. You shape the ground beef into patties, season them, and cook them on both sides in a pan. You lay a slice of cheddar on the meat and cover it so it melts. You spread the bottom bun with mayo-mustard sauce and layer lettuce, patty, tomato, onion, and pickle. Cap it with a ketchup-spread top and serve right away while warm.

Step by step process

Preparation

1
The cheeseburger with cheddar starts with a good patty. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into thin patties, slightly wider than the bun. Make a shallow indentation in the centre of each to keep them flat while cooking and stop them bulging. Season the patties with salt and pepper right before cooking.
2
Slice red onion into thin rings, tomatoes into thick slices, and wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise and mustard for a simple sauce. Cut the buns in half lengthwise.

Cooking

3
Heat a pan with a little canola oil over medium-high heat and make sure the surface is evenly hot. Add the beef patties and cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side without pressing down, so they stay juicy. Flip the patties, cook for another 2 minutes, place a slice of cheddar on each, cover, and let the cheese melt for 30-60 seconds. Remove from the pan and let rest briefly.
4
On the same pan, toast the cut sides of the buns until golden and crispy, about 1 minute, for a fragrant, warm bun.

Serving

5
Spread the mayo-mustard sauce on the bottom half of the toasted bun, add a lettuce leaf, then top with the hot beef patty and its melted cheese.
6
Layer on the tomato slices, onion rings, and a few slices of pickled cucumber. Spread ketchup on the top half of the bun, close the burger, and serve it right away while the bun is still crisp and warm.
