Christina's Notes
- Add Cheese: Add your favorite slice of cheese right before burgers are done. Add cheese and continue to cook until cheese is melted on thick burgers. Try cheddar or white American cheese.
- Toppings: Add avocado, pickles, mustard, mayonnaise or your favorite condiments.
- Ground Chuck: A ratio of 80% lean to 20% fat to cook burgers in the cast iron is best.
- Alternate Cooking Method: Try making a juicy burgers on the grill in the skillet.
- Bacon: Bacon in the cast iron is also delicious! Preheat your cast iron skillet to make bacon cheeseburgers.
- Finish: Salt and pepper or all purpose blend can be used.
- Griddle: A cast iron griddle can be used in place of a skillet.
- Bun: Make your own homemade buns for your new favorite burger!
- Cooking Time: Cooking time can vary depending on the size. Preheat a cast iron skillet first, then halfway through flip burgers over and cook for another 1 minute extra for burgers in the pan.
