Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
- 1 cup shredded beef (cooked, such as brisket or roast)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 sesame seed burger buns
- 1 small jalapeño, sliced (adjust based on heat preference)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: lettuce, tomato, and pickles for additional toppings
How to Make Loaded Cheesy Beef Burger
- Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to help them cook evenly.
- Brush the grill or skillet with olive oil to prevent sticking. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned.
- Flip the patties and place a generous amount of shredded beef on top of each, followed by shredded cheddar cheese. Cover the grill or skillet to melt the cheese, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- While the patties are cooking, toast the sesame seed buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
- Once the burgers are cooked through and the cheese is melted, assemble your burgers by placing a patty on each bun. Top with sliced jalapeños and any additional toppings you prefer.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Loaded Cheesy Beef Burger!
Tips for the Best Results
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure your burger patties are cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F for safety.
- For extra flavor, marinate the shredded beef in your favorite BBQ sauce before adding it to the burger.
- If you like it spicy, consider adding a jalapeño relish or sriracha sauce.
Easy Variations
- Swap the cheddar cheese for pepper jack for an extra kick.
- Use turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option.
- Add sautéed onions and mushrooms for a gourmet twist.
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 dish.
