Ingredients
1 lb ground chuck 80/20
Pinch of salt and pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Brioche or potatoes buns (1 for each patty)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Cheese slices (1 for each full-sized patty or ½ for mini patty)
Iceberg lettuce
Tomato slices
Dill Pickles
Thinly sliced white or red onion
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 ½ tablespoon mustard
¾ tablespoon relish
Directions
  1. Heat cast-iron skillet on medium heat. Butter buns and toast on skillet. Set aside.
  2. Divide ground chuck into four 4 oz patties or eight 2 oz patties. Careful not to overwork the meat. Turn skillet to medium-high. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil on skillet. Season tops of divided ground chuck with salt just before placing on skillet.

Cook for approximately 2 minutes or until you notice liquid surfacing on the top of the patty (fat rendering). Flip and add cheese. Cook until cheese is melted and remove from heat. Continue until all patties are completed.
