The Best Ever Cheeseburger

This burger boasts to be the best ever and if it isn’t, it’s pretty darn close!

I’m sure at this point I’ve made so many “best ever” recipes but I will still try a new one every single time because what if this one is actually the BEST EVER?! I love a burger recipe that is just the beef with salt and pepper and then you have a sauce or creative toppings to complement the burger itself. I also tend to gravitate towards American cheese because I think the melting and the nostalgia of it make it the best cheese for a burger. This burger may be pretty close to the best ever. The sauce is the correct ratio of ingredients, the burgers are simple with American cheese, and the toppings include red onion versus yellow. Fantastic!

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
