To assemble
3
Heat a grill pan over high heat and grease lightly.
⚙ Greased Flat PanStoveGrill pan
💡A very thin layer of fat, with the excess wiped off with paper towel: too much fat gives spots and fried edges.
4
Grill the meatballs 3–4 minutes per side, until they are browned outside.
Stove
💡Don't press the patties with a spatula or flip them more than once: the juices run out and the patty dries out or falls apart. It releases from the pan once the underside is browned.
5
In the last minute of grilling, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover until the cheese melts.
6
Halve the buns and toast them in the oven for 2 minutes.
Knife
7
Spread the mayonnaise and ketchup on the buns.
8
Arrange the lettuce and tomatoes in each bun, and top with a hot patty and the red onion.
