Description
Chopped Cheeseburgers offer a unique flavor profile with freshly chopped beef and melted cheese, making them a perfect comfort food for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20)
- 1 cup cheese (American, cheddar, or your favorite melting cheese)
- 1 onion (yellow or sweet, chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (fresh, minced)
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Your choice of herbs (like parsley, thyme, or oregano)
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Chop the onions and garlic finely, and gather your ground beef, cheese, and herbs.
- Sauté the Onions and Garlic: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Sauté onions until softened, then add garlic for 1 minute.
- Add the Ground Beef: Increase heat to medium-high, add the ground beef, season, and brown until no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes).
- Incorporate the Cheese: Lower the heat, sprinkle cheese over the beef, and cover until melted.
- Mix and Serve: Gently mix everything together and serve on toasted buns or over greens, garnished with toppings like pickles, lettuce, or tomatoes.
Notes
Use a heavy-bottom skillet for best results and avoid pressing down on the beef while cooking to retain moisture.
