Recipe type: Main
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. ground beef, preferably 80%
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • Hamburger buns, mayonnaise, lettuce leaves, dill pickle slices, sliced tomatoes, and sliced onions, for serving
Instructions
  1. Divide beef into 8 (2-oz.) patties. Very loosely form into a ball, making sure to not tightly pack together.
  2. Heat an ungreased griddle or large cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Working in batches as needed, place patties on hot skillet. Using a large metal spatula or bench scraper, immediately smash patties down as flat and thinly as you can; season with salt and pepper. Cook until edges start to crisp, about 1 minute. Flip, season with salt and pepper, and cook until other side is browned, about 30 seconds.
  3. Top half of patties with a slice of cheese, then top with a second patty. Continue to cook until cheese melts, about 20 seconds more.
  4. Serve on hamburger buns with desired toppings.
