Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 1 cup crispy onion rings
• 1 cup pickles, sliced
• Optional: lettuce and tomato for garnish

How to Make Cheesy Double Burger with Crispy Onions

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat.
2. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
3. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
4. Cook the patties on the grill or in the pan for about 4-5 minutes on one side, until browned.
5. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each one. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
6. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the sesame seed buns on the grill or in a toaster.
7. Assemble the burgers by placing two patties on the bottom half of each bun. Top with crispy onion rings and pickles (and lettuce and tomato, if desired).
8. Cap with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the patties are safely cooked to 160°F.
• For extra flavor, consider adding Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture.
• Let the patties rest for a few minutes before assembling to keep them juicy.
• Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best taste.

Easy Variations

• Swap cheddar cheese for pepper jack or blue cheese for a different flavor profile.
• Add sautéed mushrooms or jalapeños for extra toppings.
• Use turkey or plant-based patties for a lighter option.
• Experiment with different sauces like BBQ or ranch for added flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries for a classic pairing.
• A fresh garden salad to balance the richness of the burger.
• Coleslaw for a crunchy, tangy side.
• Grilled corn on the cob for a summertime treat.
