Ingredients
- Cheddar cheese
8 slice (1 oz) or 224g
- Ketchup
4 tbsp or 60g
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread, then place buttered side in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown. Transfer to a large sheet pan with toasted bread side face down and place 2 pieces of American cheese on each piece of bread.
- Preheat same cast iron pan over high heat. In a mixing bowl, add cold ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Divide into 1/4-pound burgers and form 1/2"-thick, square-shaped patties, similar to bread dimensions. (Avoid over-handling the burgers as it will make them tough.) Cook burgers in two batches. Flip burger after about 2 minutes, then cook 2 minutes more (or until burgers have reached desired doneness). Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil; rest 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place sheet pan with bread in the oven until cheese is just melted. Lightly blot burgers with a paper towel. Place burgers on toasted bread with cheese and top with second piece of bread.
- Return grilled cheese burgers to the cast iron pan to warm the bread. Serve immediately while warm with ketchup, if desired.
