Cheeseburger Next To Paradise

As I was browsing the aisles at the grocery store looking for something cheap to make, I came across the ground beef section. I found a good deal on the 85/15 ground beef, so I decided to buy a pound or so. Tonight on the menu: cheeseburgers. Simple. How complicated can a good ole burger be? A few spices, some cheese, produce, and a few condiments...BAM! You've got yourself an American classic! Ok let me go measure out some spices and make you my recipe for "What Is Cooking Now?" <--shameless plug Recipe follows:




Burgers
1lb 85/15 ground beef
1 tsp dehydrated garlic flakes
1 tsp dehydrated onion flakes
3/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp Worcestershire

Buns
Onion
Tomato
Lettuce

Pickles
Boursin cheese
Cheese of your choice

Mix ground beef with all the spices. Try not to over work the beef, just until well mixed. Form into four patties.
Heat grill pan over medium-high heat. When grill pan is heated, add patties. Cook for 4 to5 minutes and flip. Cook another 4 to 5 minutes. Add cheese of your choice until it is melted. Place patty on bun and top with your favorite produce and condiments.

I made my burger with Monterrey Jack cheese, lettuce, onion, tomato, bread and butter pickles, and Boursin cheese. I prefer my produce to be thinly sliced. A mandoline slice is perfect for creating thin, uniform slices. Or, if you have a wife like mine, you'll get good at slicing thinly with a knife(Love you honey!). The Boursin cheese is a garlic and herb flavored spreadable cheese found in most deli departments that adds a little flair to the burger.

I hope you enjoy this recipe. You can of course tweek things to make this recipe yours! Thanks for looking!
