A delicious and flavorful cheeseburger recipe, perfect for a casual yet gourmet meal.
Combine the ground beef with salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the patties tough.
Form the beef mixture into four equal patties.
Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, adding cheese during the last minute.
Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain their juices.
Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and paprika in a bowl to create the sauce.
Adjust the seasoning to taste for a personalized flavor.
Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes.
Keep an eye on the buns to prevent burning.
Assemble the burgers with lettuce, tomato slices, onion rings, patties, and sauce.
Layer the ingredients evenly for a balanced bite.
Serve the burgers immediately and enjoy.
Pair with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
