Double beef patties with cheese layers and fresh toppings create this iconic burger variation.

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 2/3 lb ground beef, 80/20 fat blend recommended

02 - 4 slices American cheese or cheddar

03 - 1/2 tsp kosher salt

04 - 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

05 - 4 slices dill pickle

06 - 2 slices tomato

07 - 4 slices grilled onion

08 - 2 lettuce leaves

09 - 1 tbsp butter or neutral oil

01 - Divide ground beef into four equal balls and flatten each into a patty approximately 1/3 inch thick.

02 - Season both sides of each patty evenly with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

03 - Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add butter or neutral oil.

04 - Place patties in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until well-browned and cooked through.

05 - Lay a slice of cheese on top of two patties during the final minute of cooking and allow to melt completely.

06 - Stack one cheese-topped patty with a plain patty, cheese side facing down, to create two double-patty stacks with cheese sandwiched between.

07 - Add optional toppings including pickles, tomato, grilled onion, and lettuce between the patties if desired.

08 - Serve immediately while hot and cheese is melted.

01 -

The cheese gets sandwiched between patties creating an incredibly gooey center that never slides off
Perfect for when you want all the burger satisfaction without the bread getting in the way

02 -

Don't press down on the patties while they cook or you'll lose all those precious juices that make these incredible
The cheese needs to go on during the very last minute or it will melt completely away instead of staying put between the patties

03 -

Take the ground beef out of the fridge about 20 minutes before forming patties, it helps them cook more evenly
If your cheese isn't melting well, tent the pan with foil for 30 seconds to trap the heat
