Liked

  • Did full slice of cheese between patties with another half slice on top
  • Diced onion is good
  • Seasoned one side of each patty

Disliked

  • Too juicy
  • Diced onion and pickle kind of fall off
  • Didn’t use white onion and it was missing a bite
  • Did Kroger white American, but remembered liking boars head yellow American

Next time

  • Use white onion
  • 90/10 ground beef
  • Side by side for American cheese to see if the other brand is better
    • Kroger vs Boars Head
  • Yellow mustard

Ingredients

  • 1/2 White onion, diced
  • Yellow mustard
  • Cheese (see notes)
  • Sliced pickles
  • Buns (ideally potoato or brioche if available)

Method

  1. Heat griddle to as hot as it gets
  2. Divide beef into two 2-ounce balls

Tools

  • Spatula (non-slotted)
  • Griddle
  • Grill press
    • Optional. Could use another tool’s handle and the spatula to press the patty in a bind.
