Notes

For the best experience, serve the cheeseburgers hot off the skillet. Pair with crispy fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal. If you have leftovers, let the patties cool down and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in a skillet or microwave.
