  • 1/4 teaspoon  freshly ground pepper
  • 1 pound  lean ground beef

2. Meanwhile, lightly mix beef, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper and red pepper in bowl. Shape beef mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.

3. Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush pan with oil. Cook patties 7 minutes per side, until meat thermometer inserted in center of one patty reaches 160 degrees F for medium. Remove pan from heat; divide and top each burger with cheese. Cover pan 2 minutes until cheese melts.
