Notes

If the burger mince is browning too quickly, this means that the temperature is too high. Reduce the heat before continuing to cook the remaining beef burgers.

Recipe Variations And Additions

There are many flavour additions and variations you can make to transform this burger recipe into a gourmet treat. You can swap standard American-style burger cheese to Monterey Jack, cheddar or pepper jack cheese.
Also, if you want to season the beef mince, you can add garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, chilli flakes and even fresh herbs like basil or parsley. I like to add a dash of garlic powder and cumin.
Though I made single cheeseburgers in my pictures, you can make double cheeseburgers too!
