# How-To Steps:

01 - Divide the ground beef into four equal balls and flatten each into a patty about 1/3 inch thick.
02 - Season both sides of each patty with salt and pepper.
03 - Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add butter or oil.
04 - Place the patties in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
05 - Lay a slice of cheese on top of two patties during the final minute of cooking and let it melt.
06 - Stack one cheese-topped patty with a plain patty, cheese side facing down, to form two double-patty stacks (each with cheese sandwiched between).
07 - Add optional toppings (pickles, tomato, grilled onion, lettuce) between the patties if desired.
08 - Serve immediately while hot and melty.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Its all the satisfaction of a burger without the bun getting in the way
  • The melted cheese between patties creates the most incredible gooey center
02 -
  • Do not press down on the patties with your spatula or you will lose all those precious juices
  • Let the pan get properly hot before adding the beef or you will not get that crust
03 -
  • Let your ground beef come to room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking
  • Toast some extra cheese directly on the hot pan for cheese crisps on the side
