Ingredients

Burger

  • 6 oz 75/25 ground beef
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar
  • 1 hamburger bun

Burger sauce

  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ½ cup yellow mustard
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper

Method

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Shape and season the patty.
  2. Press it into the pan for full contact and cook 3–4 minutes a side.
  3. Near the end, pile the shredded cheddar onto and around the patty, set the top bun on it and cover the pan. The cheese melts and crisps into a wide skirt.
  4. Sauce: whisk the ketchup, mustard, mayo and Worcestershire together and season. It makes far more than one burger needs; it keeps in the fridge.
  5. Toast the bottom bun, sauce the top, and assemble.
