Steps:
- Divide the ground chuck into 2 portions and season the portions with salt and pepper.
- Gently form them into two thick burgers.
- Heat a cast iron pan or a griddle to medium high, and add butter. When the butter is melted, increase the heat to high and add the burgers. Cook them for three minutes on the first side WITHOUT moving them.
- After three minutes, flip them over carefully and cook them for another 2 minutes. Lay a piece of cheese on top and cover the skillet (if you are using a griddle, a large pot cover will work for this). Cook one more minute until the cheese is melted.
- Remove the burgers to a plate and let them rest for a minute or so. Place them on rolls with your choice of toppings (I like to layer them like this: bottom bun, lettuce, burger, ketchup, pickle slice, top of bun), open wide and take a bite!

HAMBURGERS (TAVERN STYLE)
Here is the hamburger you get in better taverns and bars, plump and juicy, with a thick char that gives way to tender, medium-rare meat. It is best cooked in a heavy, cast-iron skillet slicked with oil or fat. Ask a butcher for coarse-ground chuck steak, with at least a 20 percent fat content, or grind your own. Keep it in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook, and then when you do, form your patties gently. Season after the meat is in the pan.

Steps:
- Add oil or butter to a large cast-iron or stainless-steel skillet and place over medium heat. Gently divide ground beef into 4 small piles of around 8 ounces each, and then lightly form these into thick patties of around 3 1/2 inches in diameter, like flattened meatballs. Season aggressively with salt and pepper.
- Increase heat under skillet to high. Put hamburgers into the skillet with plenty of distance between them and allow them to cook, without moving, for approximately 3 minutes. Use a spatula to turn hamburgers over. If using cheese, lay slices on meat.
- Continue to cook until meat is cooked through, approximately another 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare. Remove hamburgers from skillet and allow to rest for approximately 5 minutes; meanwhile, toast the buns. Place hamburgers on buns and top as desired.
TAVERNS
Taverns are similar to sloppy joes, just not as "tomato-y;" I have made these for many church and work pot-lucks by increasing the quantities. For Zaar I cut the recipe down to 4 servings. I have had this recipe for many years and really don't have a clue where I first came across it. Works great in the Crock Pot.

LITTLE TAVERN SHOPS HAMBURGERS
Little Tavern Shops is a defunct chain of hamburger restaurants in Baltimore, Maryland, and Washington, D.C that appears to be on the cusp of a revival. The slogan of the chain was "Buy 'em by the bag", and its signs promised "Cold drinks * Good Coffee". The stores were quite small and could accommodate only a few seated customers, while most business was take-out. This recipe is posted in response to a HUGE forum discussion. If you wish to make larger patties, roll the meat into 1.7 ounce meatballs and cook as directed.

Steps:
- Place meat balls in a hot pan or flat-top griddle.
- Add a good pinch of the onions to the top of each meat ball (about 1/2 teaspoon each).
- Smash each meat ball flat with a spatula and cook for a minute or so.
- Flip each burger, add salt and pepper to taste.
- If you wish, toast/fry the split rolls in the burger grease as the meat is cooking (this is optional).
- Remove rolls from grill and place a slice of pickle on each one.
- Once the burgers are cooked (they are very small, it won't take any time at all) place one on each roll.
- At the restaurant, the burgers were put in a steamer drawer to hold until sale. You may have to come up with some sort of steaming device. Try paper towels or "Handiwipe" towels, soaked in water (and squeezed out to "damp"), to cover the burgers while in the steamer drawer.
- Serve with condiments of your choice.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the taste of your burgers.
- Grind your own beef. This will give you more control over the fat content and flavor of your burgers.
- Don't overmix the beef. Overmixing will make the burgers tough.
- Season the beef liberally. This will help to bring out the flavor of the meat.
- Form the burgers into patties that are about 3/4 inch thick. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Cook the burgers over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the burgers while keeping the inside juicy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the burgers from cooking evenly.
- Flip the burgers only once. Flipping them too often will make them dry.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the burgers. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the burgers.
Conclusion:
Making tavern-style burgers at home is easy and rewarding. By following these tips, you can create delicious burgers that will rival anything you can find at a restaurant. So next time you're craving a burger, skip the drive-thru and make your own at home. You won't be disappointed.
