A classic burger is not just food, it's a mood! Juicy, flavorful, and with the perfect combination of beef and melted cheese. This recipe allows you to make burgers quickly with a true American taste.

The secret of our burger is the right fat-to-meat ratio in the patty and fresh buns, toasted to a crispy crust. In half an hour you can enjoy the results of your efforts.

Try variations of this recipe: with bacon or double cheese for those who love rich flavors, or give the burger a Ukrainian twist by adding beetroot or horseradish.


With chicken mince instead of beef

With bacon and double cheese for slicing

With beetroot or horseradish for a Ukrainian accent


Do not knead the mince intensely to prevent the patties from becoming tough

Freeze the formed patties for 30 minutes before frying

Fry on medium heat, do not press the patty with a spatula


Use meat with 20% fat — brisket on ribs is best

Buns should be fresh from the bakery, without bran

Soak the onion in cold water to remove bitterness


The ideal patty doneness is medium well

Buns should be toasted without oil to a crispy crust

Serve the burger hot immediately after assembly
