Divide the beef mixture evenly into four portions and shape each into a patty approximately 1.5 cm thick.

Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add patties and sear for 3–4 minutes per side, or until cooked through to your preferred doneness.

While patties cook, split buns and toast cut sides in a separate pan over medium heat until lightly golden.

Transfer patties with melted cheese and toppings onto toasted buns. Serve immediately while hot.
