Ingredients

  • ¼ pound ground beef
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 small onion finely sliced
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • yellow American mustard
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 4 soft burger buns
  • 2 sliced pickles

Instructions

  • Add onion, vinegar, and a pinch of salt to a small bowl. Stir and set aside.
  • In another bowl, add the ground beef and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Mix together until combined.
  • Cut two large pieces of waxed paper to form the patties. Place the meat mixture on one piece and cover with the other piece. Use a rolling pin to roll the mixture to a thickness of ⅛-inch. Remove the top layer of waxed paper and use a large glass or a circular cookie cutter to make 8 patties.
  • Heat a frying pan until it’s smoking hot. Add the patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Flip to the other side and cook for a couple more minutes or until done. Top each patty with a slice of cheese.
  • Transfer the patties onto the buns. Add the pickles and your favorite toppings.
  • Serve with sides and enjoy!
