Broiled Beef Burgers

Cuisinart original

A good burger doesn’t need much fuss, as long as you have good quality meat. To turn these into cheeseburgers, a minute or so before the burgers are cooked, top with a slice of your favorite cheese and allow to broil for an additional minute, or until cheese is melted and browned.

Yields
