This recipe is a unique and delicious spin on the classic cheeseburger.
This is a dish that I have been making for many years. Its definitely a family favorite that everyone can enjoy young or older. If youre a fan of cheeseburgers, this is going to fit you like a glove. This is a recipe that was inspired by an Americas Test Kitchen book.
One of the best parts of this recipe is that its a breeze to make with very little prep and overall cook time. But the BEST part is that cheeseburger flavor throught the mixture and contained in the toppings.
The second part of the recipe that I love is that you can customize the dish to what you prefer and have on hand. We used ground beef but you can use any ground meat for the filling, like turkey, pork or lamb. Just make sure you soak up any extra liquid in the pan prior to adding the starch/flour.
The other aspects you can change are the cheeses you prefer. For me, American cheese is the best for cheeseburgers, but thats because I grew up in the diner business. You can use what you have and this will taste spectacular nonetheless!
