How to Make Triple Cheese and Shredded Beef Burger
- Prepare the ground beef by combining it with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix gently and form into 4 equal-sized patties.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness (internal temperature of 160°F for medium). During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper jack cheese on each patty to melt.
- While the patties are cooking, in another pan, heat the shredded beef until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toast the sesame seed buns in the same skillet until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble the burgers: Start with the bottom bun, add a layer of shredded beef, then place the cheesy beef patty on top. Add jalapeño slices if using, and top with shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Finish with the top bun.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the beef patties are not overworked to keep them tender.
- Allow the shredded beef to caramelize slightly for extra flavor.
- Feel free to mix and match cheeses based on your preference.
- Let the patties rest for a minute after cooking for juicier results.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the cheeses for your favorites like gouda or blue cheese.
- Add a spicy aioli or BBQ sauce for an extra kick.
- Use a grilled portobello mushroom instead of beef for a vegetarian option.
- Experiment with toppings like avocado, crispy bacon, or fried eggs.
