About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb chuck roast
- 0.99 oz butter
- 2 slices american cheese
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 4 slices pickles
- 2 slices pickled onions
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 bottom bun
- 1 top bun
Instructions
- 1Place the grinder's cutting plates and bowl in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to ensure a clean grind.
- 2Dice the chuck roast and butter into small cubes (about ½‑inch pieces) and spread them on a tray; return the tray to the freezer for 15–20 minutes so the butter stays firm.
- 3Remove the frozen meat and butter cubes, then double‑grind them together in the cold grinder until a fine, cohesive mixture forms.
- 4Divide the ground mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a 2.5‑oz (≈70 g) ball; gently flatten each ball into a patty about ½‑inch thick.
- 5Preheat a cast‑iron griddle or heavy skillet over medium‑high heat (≈400°F / 392°F). Lightly oil the surface.
- 6Place the patties on the hot griddle, immediately smash them with a sturdy spatula to increase surface area, season with salt, and cook for 2‑3 minutes until a crust forms.
- 7Flip the patties, add a slice of American cheese to each, and cook another 1‑2 minutes until the cheese begins to melt; sprinkle a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
- 8While the cheese melts, lightly toast the bottom and top buns on the griddle for 30 seconds each, face‑down.
- 9Spread 2 tbsp ketchup on the bottom bun, add the pickles, then place the double‑cheese‑topped patty stack on top.
- 10Top the patties with pickled onion slices, drizzle 1 tsp yellow mustard, and finish with the top bun. Serve immediately.
- 11Allow the assembled burgers to rest for 1‑2 minutes before biting so the juices redistribute.
