# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The double cheese layer creates an incredibly melty, gooey experience in every single bite
  • Perfect for when you're craving restaurant quality flavor without leaving your kitchen
02 -
  • Don't press down on the patties while they cook, you'll lose all those precious juices that keep them moist
  • Let the cheese melt completely before stacking, otherwise it won't bind the patties together properly
03 -
  • If you're making multiple batches, keep the finished ones in a warm oven so the cheese stays perfectly melted
  • Toast your optional onion slices in the same pan after cooking the beef for extra flavor
