Ingredients
Instructions
- Shape ground beef into individual oblong patties and season with garlic salt, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Broil the patties until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Top the hot patties with grated Cheddar cheese, chopped tomatoes, and chopped green onions.
Tips & Substitutions
For a juicier patty, consider mixing in some grated onion or Worcestershire sauce along with the ground beef. If you're out of Cheddar cheese, feel free to substitute with Monterey Jack or even a slice of American cheese for that gooey texture. Experiment with spices like smoked paprika or cayenne for an extra kick. For a different texture, try adding breadcrumbs or oats to the beef mixture.
Serving Suggestions
These patties are delicious served on a toasted bun with your favorite condiments for a hearty burger experience. Pair them with a side of crispy fries or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. They also pair beautifully with Unstuffed Cabbage Casserole(Quick One-Dish Meal) for a comforting dinner spread. Top with avocado or jalapeños for an extra layer of flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them in 30-second intervals until warm, but this may affect the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these patties ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the patties in advance and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before cooking. This allows the flavors to meld, making for a tastier meal. Just remember to bring them to room temperature before broiling for even cooking.
What can I use instead of ground beef?
If you're looking for a lighter option, ground turkey or chicken can be used instead of ground beef. Alternatively, for a vegetarian option, try using a plant-based meat substitute or mashed beans mixed with breadcrumbs and spices.
How do I know when the patties are done?
The best way to check for doneness is to use a meat thermometer. For medium doneness, aim for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). If you prefer them a bit more well-done, cook to 165°F (74°C). Remember, they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the heat.
