Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat a skillet or grill to medium-high heat.
Season both sides of the beef patties with kosher salt and black pepper.
Place patties on the hot surface and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium, or to your desired doneness.
Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover briefly to melt the cheese.
While patties cook, slice buns in half and spread cut sides with butter.
Toast buns, buttered side down, in a skillet or on the grill until golden brown.
Mix mayonnaise and yellow mustard in a small bowl.
To assemble: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, top with the cheesy beef patty, then a spoonful of mayo-mustard sauce, tomato slices, and red onion rings.
Crown each burger with the top bun. Serve immediately.
