Ingredients

6 servings

2 lb ground chuck beef ((80/20))
fine sea salt (to taste)
freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
6 burger buns
6 slices medium cheddar cheese ((thick sliced))
1 large tomato (sliced into 8 rings)
12 leaves green leaf lettuce
1/2 medium red onion (thinly sliced into rings)
1/2 cup dill pickle slices

Instructions

Prepare Toppings - Slice and prepare all of your burger toppings and sauces.
Toast Buns - 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.
Prepare Beef Patties - Preheat grill to medium heat. Divide ground beef into 6 portions (1/3 lb each) 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 155˚F for a final temperature of 160˚F on a thermometer. Rest the patties 5 minutes before serving.
