Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil (for pan)
  • 1 pound ground beef chuck (20% fat)
  • Kosher salt
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 4 potato rolls
  • toasted
  • Ketchup
  • mayonnaise
  • shredded iceberg lettuce
  • and dill pickle slices (for serving)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a cast-iron griddle or large heavy skillet over medium-high until very hot, about 2 minutes, then lightly brush with vegetable oil.

  2. 2

    Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions (do not form patties).

  3. 3

    Working in batches if needed, place portions on griddle and smash flat with a spatula to form 4"-diameter patties (craggy edges are your friend).

  4. 4

    Season liberally with salt and cook, undisturbed, until outer edges are brown, about 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Flip patties, season with salt, and place a slice of cheese on top of each patty.

  6. 6

    Cook until cheese droops and burgers are medium-rare, about 1 minute.

  7. 7

    Serve patties on rolls with ketchup, mayonnaise, lettuce, and pickles.
