  • Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.

  3. Add vegetable oil to the skillet.
  4. Place the beef balls on the skillet and smash them down with a spatula to form patties.
  5. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until a crust forms, then flip the patties.
  7. Add a slice of cheese on top of each patty and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
