I did something I thought I would never do. I consider myself a burger master. I've tried every variation of burger known to man and have decided that a simple 80/20 on a flat iron or in a skillet, topped with a pad of butter with melted American cheese on a toasted bun is the only way to go. I promised myself I would never deviate from what was already deemed perfect.
But, peer pressure got the best of me when I heard from others that this burger had to be tried. And now? It is my new "go-to."
Thank you, Jesse!
So, here it is. Enjoy!
Jesse Kelly Cheeseburger Recipe
· 80/20 beef or fattier
· American cheese
· Garlic powder
· General seasoning (Seasoned salt?)
· Chipotle Tobasco Sauce
· Quality buns
· Butter
Put beef in bowl
Dust top with garlic powder
Dust with seasoned salt
Add generous amount of Tobasco sauce. He said the more the better because the heat burns off. He uses a half bottle per pound.
Make thin patties
Cook on flattop
As soon as it starts sizzling, flip
Immediately add cheese
Place on toasted buns
Do NOT need any condiments or toppings.



Which bun would be best? I see the patties have been beaten within an inch of their life so I take it a\a thinner pattie works x2?

The burger recipe looks delicious, much like the satisfying sense of achievement you feel while completing the Annapurna Circuit Trek. Both are enjoyable journeys worth the effort.
This bold, no-fuss cheeseburger twist sounds incredibly satisfying, and I’d love to test this spicy, buttery method with tips from Cabligo for perfect patty prep.
