Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 1 cup leafy lettuce, shredded
• Cooking oil, for frying
• Optional: ketchup and mustard, for serving

How to Make Double Cheese Crunch Burger

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, seasoned breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty, making them slightly larger than the buns since they will shrink while cooking.
3. Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add enough cooking oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
4. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the patties to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy.
5. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
6. While the patties are cooking, toast the sesame seed buns in a separate skillet or under the broiler until golden.
7. Assemble the burgers: Place a crispy beef patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of each bun, add a generous handful of shredded lettuce, and top with the other half of the bun. If desired, add ketchup and mustard.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Double Cheese Crunch Burger!

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh ground beef for the best flavor and texture.
• Don’t skip the breadcrumbs; they provide the desired crunch.
• Make sure your oil is hot enough before adding the patties to achieve the perfect crispiness.
• Customize the toppings to suit your taste—try adding tomato slices or pickles for extra flavor.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the cheddar for your favorite cheese, like pepper jack for a spicy kick.
• Add crispy bacon for an extra layer of flavor.
• Try using turkey or chicken for lighter patties.
• For a vegetarian option, substitute the beef with a veggie burger patty.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
• A side salad with a tangy vinaigrette
• Onion rings for that classic diner feel
• Coleslaw for a crunchy, creamy side
