Ingredients
Scale
Beef Patties
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
Buns and Toppings
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 4 slices American cheese
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Griddle: Begin by heating your griddle or a large skillet over medium-high heat to get it ready for cooking the patties and toasting the buns.
- Shape the Patties: Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions and shape each into thin patties for even cooking and assembling double burgers.
- Season the Patties: Sprinkle salt and black pepper over both sides of each patty to enhance the natural beef flavor.
- Cook the Patties: Place the patties on the hot griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are thoroughly cooked.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: While the patties cook, mix the softened butter with garlic powder to make a garlic butter spread for the buns.
- Toast the Buns: Spread the garlic butter mixture on the inside of each hamburger bun and toast them on the griddle until golden brown, adding a flavorful crunch.
- Assemble Double Burgers: Place a slice of American cheese on 4 of the cooked patties, then top each with another patty to create the double steakburgers, allowing the cheese to melt between the layers.
- Add Mayonnaise and Garlic Salt: Spread mayonnaise evenly on the bottom halves of the toasted buns, then sprinkle with garlic salt to infuse extra flavor into the base.
- Complete Your Burgers: Place the double steakburgers on the prepared buns and finish by capping with the top halves of the buns for a deliciously stacked burger ready to serve.
Notes
- For juicier burgers, avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking.
- You can substitute American cheese with cheddar or your preferred melting cheese.
- Adjust garlic powder and garlic salt amounts according to your taste preference.
- Using a griddle provides even heat, but a skillet works just as well.
- Serve with fries or a side salad for a complete meal.
