16 ounces ground beef (I love brisket combined with sirloin)
Separate into 4 ounce patties, 2 per person
8 slices American cheese
Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Cook the burgers until browned, about for 2-3. Flip the burger and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Top each patty with a slice of cheese and cover the pan briefly to melt the cheese.
