Ingredients

• 1 1/4 pounds coarsely ground beef chuck (70 percent lean)
• Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
• 4 slices American cheese
• 4 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
• 4 potato sandwich rolls
• 1/4 cup diced white onion
• 1 dill pickle, thinly sliced
• 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
• 4 teaspoons yellow mustard

Directions

1. Divide beef into 4 mounds, and evenly place on a 12-by-14-inch piece of plastic wrap. Place another piece of plastic on top. Roll into 5 1/2-inch patties, about 1/3 inch thick, with a rolling pin.

2. Heat a griddle or 2 large cast-iron skillets over medium-high. Season both sides of patties with salt and pepper. Cook patties, pressing with a spatula, 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, flip, and top with cheese. Cook 2 minutes.

3. Butter cut sides of rolls, and toast on griddle until edges just start to brown, about 1 minute.

4. Sandwich burgers in rolls with onion, pickle, lettuce, and mustard.
