• Pepper

  Spices, black

  ½ tsp or 1g

• Ground beef

  80% lean meat / 20% fat, raw

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg with the salt and black pepper until evenly combined.
2. Add the ground beef and bread crumbs to the bowl and mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork.
3. Divide the mixture into equal portions (2 per each cheeseburger being prepared) and shape into thin patties slightly wider than the buns (they will shrink).
4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
5. Cook the patties in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preference.
6. During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of cheddar on each patty and cover the skillet to melt.
7. Place two cheese-topped patties on each bun and finish with ketchup. Serve immediately.
