Equipment
- 1 Grill pan or frying pan
- 1 Spatula
- 1 Knife (for slicing toppings)
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Burger buns
- 1 Cheese slices
Ingredients
- 2 quarter-pound beef patties or 2 4-ounce patties
- 2 slices of American cheese or your preferred cheese
- 2 hamburger buns
- 1 tablespoon of ketchup
- 1 tablespoon of mustard
- 1/4 cup of pickles sliced
- 1/4 onion sliced, optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the beef patties: Shape the ground beef into two equal patties, each weighing approximately 4 ounces. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cook the patties: Heat a grill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or longer if you prefer well-done patties.
- Add the cheese: In the final minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty. Cover the pan with a lid to help the cheese melt.
- Prepare the buns: While the patties are cooking, slice the buns and toast them lightly in a separate pan or toaster.
- Assemble the burger: Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom bun. Add the pickles and onion slices. Place one cheese-topped patty on the bottom bun.
- Add the second patty: Stack the second cheese-topped patty on top of the first. Place the top bun to complete the burger.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve your Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese hot, with a side of fries or a beverage of your choice.
