Ingredients
  

For the Burgers
  • 1 lb lobster meat freshly cooked and chopped
  • 1 lb ground beef good quality for juicy patties
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese for topping

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties.
  3. Step 3: Place patties on the hot skillet and smash them down with a spatula to create a crust. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side.
