Title: Hamburgers (Diner Style)
Categories: Five, Beef, Cheese, Breads
Yield: 6 servings

1/2 ts Oil; or a pat of unsalted
- butter
2 lb Ground chuck
Salt & black pepper
8 sl Cheese
8 Soft hamburger buns; lightly
- toasted

MMMMM--------------------------TOPPINGS-------------------------------
Lettuce leaves
Sliced tomatoes
Condiments as desired

Add oil or butter to a large cast-iron or
stainless-steel skillet and place over medium heat.
Gently divide ground beef into 8 small piles of around
4 oz. each, and even more gently gather them together
into orbs that are about 2" in height. Do not form
patties.

Increase heat under skillet to high. Put half the orbs
into the skillet with plenty of distance between them
and, using a stiff metal spatula, press down on each
one to form a burger that is around 4" in diameter and
about 1/2" thick. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook without moving until patties have achieved a deep,
burnished crust, a little less than 2 minutes. Use the
spatula to scrape free and carefully turn burgers over.
If using cheese, lay slices on meat.

Continue to cook until meat is cooked through,
approximately a minute or so longer. Remove burgers
from skillet, place on buns and top as desired. Repeat
process with remaining burgers. Serving two hamburgers
on a single bun is not an outrageous option.
