For the Mustard-Grilled Burgers:
1
Wipe the pan out with a paper towel and turn the heat up to medium-high. Once preheated, place the beef balls on the pan and smash them very thin with a spatula or burger press. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 60-90 seconds (or until the bottom develops a crust and the burger is cooked about 80% of the way through). Drizzle a little yellow mustard on top of each patty and flip. Immediately place American cheese on each pattie and cook for another 30–45 seconds. Make two double stacks of cooked patties and set aside.
