Ingredients
Burger Seasoning
- 2 lb 80% ground beef

Sandwich Ingredients
- mozzarella cheese, fresh in water recommended
- Tomato, sliced thin

Instructions
- Add beef, seasoning, vinegar, onion, and garlic to a large bowl.
- With your clean hand, mix the contents of the bowl together until well combined. Let sit at least 60 minutes.
- Either in a pan or on the grill, cook your burgers on high heat. You want them to get nice and browned on both sides while they cook.

Notes
Macronutrients: 43g carb, 44g fat, 44g protein
- Macronutrients are roughly estimated since your breading and toppings will likely vary from mine.
- Fresh mozzarella melts at a fairly high temperature, so if you prefer your cheese very melty, I recommend putting it in the microwave for 15 seconds of so before adding it to the burger.
