Ingredient Amount Function / Tips
English Muffins 6 whole (12 halves) Plain or sourdough muffins provide the sturdy, toasted base.
Lean Ground Beef 1 lb Browned and drained; seasoned simply with salt and pepper.
Shredded Cheddar Cheese 2 cups Sharp cheddar gives a bold flavor and binds the beef to the muffin.
Mayonnaise or Softened Butter 1/3 cup Spread lightly on the muffins before topping to create a barrier and ensure a golden-crisp bite.

(Optional addition: A dash of Worcestershire sauce or garlic powder stirred into the beef takes the savory note up another notch!)
