Ingredients

• 0.25 lb ground meat (beef or chicken or turkey should all work)

• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp butter

• Plop the ground meat, seasoned side down, onto the pan. Smash with a spatula. Season the other side with salt and pepper.
• After a minute or two, flip the ground meat. Place the cheddar on top of the fried side and fry the other side for another minute or two, until meat is medium rare and cheese is melted.
