Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Absolutely! The classic cheddar is delicious, but you can easily swap it out for a different melty cheese like pepper jack or Swiss. Just make sure the cheese melts beautifully on top of the hot patty.
How do I grill the perfect burger patty?
The key to a juicy, flavorful burger patty is all in the seasoning and cooking technique. Make sure to season the ground beef with a blend of spices like garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Then, grill or sear the patties over high heat, creating a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and pink.

This burger is the star of the show, but it’s always nice to have some complementary sides. We recommend pairing it with crispy fries, a tangy coleslaw, or a fresh side salad to balance out the richness of the burger.
