Total time:
Serves: 4
- 1 pound ground chuck, preferably 75-25
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of hoop cheese (or mild Cheddar)
- 4 kaiser rolls
- Butter
- 1 cup chopped hot pickled green tomato, diced
- ½ cup French's fried onions
- Your favorite barbecue sauce
- Heat a cast iron skillet to medium hot.
- Loosely form the chuck into four patties, making an indentation in the middle to keep them flat while frying.
- Add the burgers to the skillet, indentation side up. Fry for 2-3 minutes, until a good crust forms on the bottom.
- Flip and add the cheese to the top of each burger. Cover the skillet to melt the cheese. Fry another 2-3 minutes and remove. Let rest on a plate.
- Preheat the oven broiler, butter the kaiser rolls and broil on a cookie sheet until lightly browned.
- Add the burgers to the bottom bun and top with pickled green tomato, fried onions and barbecue sauce.
