Cheeseburger Meal Research Paper
How do you prepare a great cheeseburger meal? People may prefer their cheeseburgers from one of the national fast food chains or from a restaurant, but I prefer the old fashion way, making them at home.
You start the process of making the cheeseburger at the grocery store. Most importantly is your choice of meat. Regular ground beef usually has a high fat content, about 25% to 35%, since it comes from the leftovers of cuts like shank and brisket. Regular ground beef is usually the cheapest, and while it has its upsides like flavor, it will shrink more than others when cooked due to the amount of fat in it. This ground beef is my choice because the flavor is simply more important, although I could see why people would prefer others. Now to talk about the cheese, I prefer pepper jack cheese, but to have some variety I might consider Provolone, Swiss, etc. Buns are essential, so find a good sesame seed bun or try something different like a sweet Hawaiian roll. As for condiments I prefer onion on most cheese burgers. I usually go with a yellow onion …show more content…
because it has the most flavor and of course the old standby of ketchup and yellow mustard.
As with all food preparation, hygiene is very important so wash your hands before, during and after as needed.
I start by adding a little extra virgin oil added to the pan. Setting the stove to medium heat, then begin by forming the patties into mildly thick disk shapes. Make sure not to press into them too hard as to not ruin the cheeseburger. Leave a small indentation in the top of the burger to help keep the juices in. Cooking each side for about four to five minutes you should only need to flip the patties about four times. Use a pan lid to help hasten the cooking process. While cooking, prepare your plates with buns and condiments. Once the meat is cooked add cheese and let it melt. Carefully place the meat on the prepared buns, serve and enjoy.
Although this is how I like to prepare my cheeseburger meals, it is by no means the only way. Have fun with it, experiment, try new and different
ingredients.
