Colby Jack Cheeseburgers
If you’re craving a restaurant-style burger at home, these Colby Jack Cheeseburgers deliver big flavor with little fuss. Made with seasoned ground beef, caramelized onions, bacon, and melty Colby Jack cheese, served on a hearty hamburger roll.
If there’s one meal my family can agree on, it’s burgers, in any form, including a patty melt. We are lucky to live in a place where we can grill outside year-round, but it’s easy to make burgers inside on a grill pan or flat griddle.

Why use Colby Jack cheese?
Colby Jack is a blend of Colby and Monterey Jack cheeses. It’s a mild and creamy flavor that melts smoothly over hot burgers without overpowering the beef.

How do you serve Colby Jack Pub Burgers?
I know my family can’t be the only ones out there that goes simple when it comes to burgers. Colby Jack cheeseburgers are a favorite because it’s one of our favorite cheeses. I like to serve these burgers with diner-style potatoes, baked sweet potato fries, broccoli salad, easy baked beans, and coleslaw.
Serve Colby Jack cheeseburgers for backyard parties, casual celebrations, tailgate parties (can you say burger bar), weekends at the lake, or an easy weeknight dinner.
More Burger Recipes
We also like French onion burgers, but this cheeseburger hobo dinner packet is very easy too. Mushroom Swiss burgers are another popular pub menu item, but if you’re looking for something a little different, try Hawaiian burgers.
Can I cook burgers on the stovetop instead of the grill?
Yes! Use a flat griddle pan, grill pan, or cast iron skillet for a flavorful crust on these Colby Jack cheeseburgers.
What is the best ground beef for burgers?
An 80/20 ground beef blend (80% lean, 20% fat) will result in a balance of flavor and juciness.
Can I make the burgers ahead of time?
Make the burger patties ahead and refrigerate them until ready to grill them. Let them come to room temperature before cooking.
