FAQ ❓

Which bun should I use to make a cheeseburger?

You can use a classic or cbun. If you'd like to make your own burger buns, the recipe is right here.
We've used a ground beef steak. You can use the meat of your choice, or even replace it with a veggie patty (our recipe is made with red kidney beans)! You can use a frozen minced steak for this recipe, but the cooking time will vary, so cook it longer :-).

Which cheese to use?
We've used slices of cheddar, but you can also use any sliced cheese you like.
The legendary cheeseburger sauces are a mixture of ketchup and American mustard. But don't worry, you can substitute one or the other, or even both, for your favorite sauce :-).
Of course, when you think of a cheeseburger, you think of fries. The best will accompany it with potatoes, and the most daring will choose coleslaw. Either way, no one's going to judge your choice of accompaniment, so feel free to try this recipe for sweet potato chips, for example.
On top of the cheddar, add another minced steak and another slice of cheddar and continue the recipe.
On top of the cheddar, add another minced steak, another slice of cheddar, another minced steak and another slice of cheddar, and continue the recipe.
