Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 pieces Hamburger buns
• 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
• 0 as desired Pickles or other toppings (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture and stir until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated. Turn off the heat and set aside.

Step 5

Preheat a griddle or another skillet over medium heat. Spread a thin layer of softened butter on the interior sides of the hamburger buns.

Step 6

Toast the buns, butter-side down, on the griddle until golden brown, about 1–2 minutes.

Step 7

Spoon the cheesy beef mixture generously onto the toasted buns. Add pickles or other toppings as desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Cheeseburger Joes!
