Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20 blend for juiciness
  • Salt to taste

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Turn on your Blackstone griddle and set it to medium-high heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, gently form the ground beef into four equal balls, about 4 ounces each.
  3. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the beef balls just before cooking.
  4. Place the beef balls on the hot griddle and immediately press down with a spatula.
  5. Let the burgers cook for about 3 minutes without moving them.
  6. Flip the burgers, and place a slice of cheese on top of each patty.
  7. Close the griddle lid for about 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
  8. Place the buns cut side down on the griddle until lightly toasted.
  9. Place the patties on the bottom half of the buns and add your favorite toppings.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; 160°F is perfect for medium.
