I never used a recipe for cheese burgers because I thought that it was too simple a meal to mess up. Then one night after work I made hamburgers for myself and my husband. He was eating his meal and I could tell that something was wrong. I asked him what he thought of dinner and he said "what did you season this with?". That is when I realized that I hadn't seasoned with ANYTHING. I literally cooked plain ground beef, put it on a bun and served it for dinner. It was awful! Since then I have been using this recipe and have had a much better reaction from my husband!
Ingrediants
Directions
Dice the onion until you have about 1/2 cup.
In a large bowl, mix together the beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. I like to use my stand mixer so that I don't get my hands messy ;) Refrigerate the mixture for 2 to 4 hours.
Lightly oil a skillet and preheat it on medium high heat (or use the grill).
Form the burgers into patties. You can make them as big or as small as you would like. I usually make 4 hamburgers from this amount of meat. I have also made mini burgers for my toddler to eat!
Cook the burgers for about 6 minutes, turning them once.
When the burgers are almost finished add a slice of cheese and cover the skillet. This will cause steam which will help to melt the cheese!
Toast the bun and then add mayonnaise and ketchup to the top bun. Place several spinach leaves on the bottom bun. I prefer to use spinach on my sandwiches because it is more nutritious. I always place them underneath my burgers so that the juices from the burger do not make the bun soggy.
Add tomato and red onions and have a delicious burger!
