Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 slices of cheese (such as cheddar or American)
  • 4 pretzel buns
  • Burger toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, etc.)
  • Condiments of your choice (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or stovetop griddle over medium-high heat. If using a stovetop, lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix the ingredients together, being careful not to overwork the meat. Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties, about 1/2-inch thick.
  3. Place the burger patties on the preheated grill or griddle. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. If using cheese, add a slice to each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
  4. While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the pretzel buns on the grill or in a toaster. This step adds a nice crunch and enhances the pretzel flavor.
  5. Assemble your cheeseburgers by placing each patty on a toasted pretzel bun. Add your preferred toppings and condiments to customize the burger to your liking.

Notes

Aim for patties that are about 1/2-inch thick to ensure even cooking. To achieve perfectly melted cheese, cover the grill or griddle with a lid or use a heatproof bowl as a makeshift cover during the last minute of cooking.

After cooking, allow the burgers to rest for a few minutes before assembling. This helps retain their juiciness and allows the flavors to settle. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
