Ingredients
- 800 g chuck mince (20–25% fat)
- 8 slices American cheese
- 4 sesame seed buns
- Lettuce, shredded
- Pickles, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- Jar of jalapeños
- 1 green pepper, sliced
- Salt, to taste
- Oil, for cooking
Directions
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium–high heat.
- Prepare all toppings: shred the lettuce and slice the pickles, onion, green pepper, and jalapeños if needed.
- Divide the chuck mince into 8 portions of 100 g each. Gently roll into loose balls—do not overwork the meat.
- Lightly oil the Blackstone (chef’s choice on the oil).
- Place the mince balls onto the hot griddle and let them sit untouched for 10–15 seconds.
- Season the tops with salt. Using tongs, give each ball a slight wiggle, then flip so the seared side faces up.
- Gently press down to form thick patties. Avoid smashing them too thin.
- Cook for about 2 minutes, then flip the patties. Take your time—these are thicker burgers.
- Season the second side with salt and place a slice of cheese on each patty. Allow the cheese to melt.
- Lightly toast the buns on the griddle, then move them to your prep area.
- Assemble the burgers with your preferred toppings. Enjoy!
