Quick to prepare and endlessly customizable, this burger offers a pure meat and cheese experience without the distraction of buns or extras.

Ingredients

Primary Ingredients

  • Ground Beef – 1 lb, freshly ground with high fat content
  • Cheddar or American Cheese – 4 slices
  • Bacon Strips (optional) – 4 strips
  • Salt – to taste
  • Black Pepper – to taste
  • Butter or Oil – 1 tbsp for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Patties: Portion the ground beef into two equal balls and gently shape them into thick patties about 3/4 inch thick. Take care not to overwork the meat to keep the patties tender.
  2. Season Generously: Just before cooking, sprinkle salt and pepper evenly on both sides of each patty to enhance natural beef flavors.
  3. Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add butter or oil. Place the patties onto the hot surface and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until they reach medium doneness. Avoid pressing down on the patties to keep them juicy.
  4. Add Cheese and Bacon: During the last minute of cooking, place slices of cheese on each patty and allow it to melt fully. If using bacon, cook it separately until crispy, then layer it atop the cheese-covered patties.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Stack the cheese-topped patties with bacon in between or serve them individually. Enjoy the Flying Dutchman Burger immediately for peak freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • Let the ground beef come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
  • Handle the patties gently to avoid dense, tough burgers.
  • Allow cooked patties to rest for a few minutes to retain juices.
  • Use thin slices of cheese for quicker, smoother melting.
  • Cooking in a cast iron skillet helps achieve a perfect sear and deep flavor.
