Directions
Burger
Preheat your skillet to medium-high heat.
Weigh your portion of ground beef (6 oz) and shape into a patty. Season both sides of the patty with salt (1 tsp) and pepper (1 tsp).
Place the patty in the skillet and press the burger to the pan to ensure full contact.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the shredded cheese (2 cups) to the patty and cover with the top bun (1). Cover the pan with a lid.
The cheese will melt and create a large skirt.
Burger Sauce
In a small bowl combine ketchup (½ cup), mustard (½ cup), mayonnaise (¾ cup), Worcestershire (2 tsp), Kosher salt, and Pepper. Use a whisk to mix thoroughly.
Assembly
Toast buns (1).
Place the bun heel on plate.
Spread the sauce on the top half of the bun.
Add the patty on top.
Finish with the top half of the bun.
