Steps
- Form the burger patties into four thick patties and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a little butter and cook the burgers 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium, turning once. Top each with a slice of cheddar in the final minute and cover to melt.
- Meanwhile prepare the cheddar broccoli rice according to package directions.
- Toast the hamburger buns lightly in a dry skillet if you like.
- Serve the burgers on buns with the rice and broccoli florets on the side.
