HERE IT IS! The ultimate summer go-to if you're hosting people. BURGERS.
Now, just so we're clear: AS PER OUR NAME this is a 5 Ingredient burger. It's simple. Simple, but amazing. This is ideally a burger for when you have 10-15 people to feed in a short amount of time and you don't want frozen Bubba burgers or something so bland that it actually brings the party down.
This flavor-packed burger has melted cheese AND a sauce of ketchup and sweet relish which is very reminiscent of those amazing Mcdonald's cheeseburgers we all know and love.

5 Ingredient Burger
-1 pound ground beef
-1 brick/bag Cheese (cheddar/American)
-1.5 tablespoons Adobo Seasoning
-1/4 cup Sweet relish
-1/4 cup Ketchup
- Season your meat, mix it with your hands or a wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed in. Roll the meat into golf ball size balls, similar to meatballs. Once finished, cover and place in the fridge. **if you do not want smash burgers, simply make hockey puck-shaped Patties in this step.
- In a small container or bowl, combine your ketchup and relish until mixed, chill in fridge.
- If you need to shred cheese, slice or shred. If using pre-shredded or pre-sliced, take out of fridge.
- STOVETOP: heat up a cast iron pan on medium heat. Drizzle a teaspoon of canola oil if needed. Once the pan is hot, place the balls in. Once they’re down, use a press or the bottom of a spatula to smash the patty flat. After 90 seconds to 2 minutes, you should be seeing a nice browning on the bottom. Flip the burgers once they’re brown to your liking. As soon as it’s flipped, layer cheese on top. Cook for another minute or until the cheese is melted.
- ON THE GRILL: after grill is hot, cook for 7-8 minutes for medium. Flipping once halfway through. If you’re using an internet l thermometer, medium should read about 140-145 degrees F.
- Once cheese is melted and burger is cooked to your liking, remove. Place on whatever bun or bread you’d like, spooning sauce on top of cheese.
- ENJOY.
