Alright, for my first recipe suggestion, let’s tackle that classic McDonald’s cheeseburger! Here’s my take on it, using ingredients that are easy to find and won’t break the bank:
Ingredients:
– 1 lb ground beef (85/15 blend)
– 4 slices American cheese (I recommend the Trader Joe’s brand, which costs around $2.50 for a 12-slice pack)
– 4 sesame seed hamburger buns (I like the ones from Walmart’s bakery section, which are usually around $2 for a pack of 8)
– 1/4 cup diced onion
– 2 dill pickle spears, sliced thinly
– Ketchup, mustard, and mayo (I recommend the Sir Kensington’s brand, which is available at Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s for around $4 a bottle)
Instructions:
1. Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal parts and shape each portion into a patty that is about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook each patty for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through.
4. While the patties are cooking, toast your hamburger buns in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, until slightly crispy.
5. To assemble the cheeseburgers, spread a small amount of ketchup, mustard, and mayo on the bottom bun, then place a patty on top.
6. Top each patty with a slice of American cheese, followed by a small handful of diced onions and a few pickle slices.
7. Spread another small amount of ketchup, mustard, and mayo on the top bun, then place it on top of the burger. Repeat with the remaining burgers.
8. Serve immediately, with a side of sweet potato fries or a simple green salad.
This classic cheeseburger recipe is easy to make, affordable, and packed with flavor. Plus, by making it at home, you can control the quality of the ingredients and can customize it to your liking. Enjoy!
