Notes

To make the perfect Jesse Kelly Cheeseburger, here are some helpful tips:
 
  • Choose Quality Meat: For the best flavor, use high-quality ground beef with a fat content of about 80/20. This will keep your patties juicy and flavorful.
  • Don’t Overwork the Meat: When forming your patties, be gentle and avoid overworking the meat. This helps keep the burgers tender.
  • Season Well: Season the meat with salt and pepper before cooking. You can also add garlic powder, onion powder, or your favorite spices for extra flavor.
  • Cook to Perfection: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 130°F, and for medium, aim for 140°F.
  • Let Them Rest: After cooking, let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps keep them juicy.
  • Toast the Buns: Toasting the burger buns adds a nice crunch and prevents them from getting soggy.
  • Get Creative with Toppings: Feel free to experiment with different toppings and sauces. Avocado, jalapeños, or barbecue sauce can add a unique twist!
