These quick skillet cheeseburgers are incredibly juicy and are on the table in just 15 minutes. Perfect for a quick weeknight meal.

Place large skillet on the stove on med-high heat (12 inch skillet is perfect for 4 burgers)
Form the beef into 4 large meatballs
When the skillet is hot, drop the meatballs into the pan leaving plenty of space in between.
With a spatula, press the meatballs flat. The thinner you press them, the faster they will cook. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
Allow to cook for approximately 4 minutes, then flip the burgers and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cook for about 3 minutes, then place a slice of cheese on each patty.
Cover with a lid and cook another 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted.
Serve on burger buns with desired toppings.

If you like your buns toasted, brush with butter and toast face down on a separate skillet, or place them under a broiler for 1-2 minutes.
