Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 mix)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup green olives, chopped
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces tomato slices
- 8 pieces pickle slices
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a burger patty about ¾ inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grates; if using a skillet, ensure it is lightly greased so the patties do not stick.
Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 160°F for fully cooked patties). During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese onto each patty to melt.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the olive-mayo sauce. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with chopped green olives until well combined. Set aside.
Butter the insides of the hamburger buns and toast them lightly on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the olive-mayo sauce generously on the top and bottom buns. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a cooked burger patty with melted cheese, a tomato slice, and pickle slices.
Top with the upper bun, pressing gently to secure, and serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries, chips, or a simple salad.
