Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 slices American cheese slices
- 4 buns Burger buns
- 4 leaves Iceberg lettuce
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 small Onion
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until evenly combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the pan.
Once hot, place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4 minutes on one side without moving them to achieve a good sear.
Flip the patties and place a slice of American cheese on each. Continue to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes for medium or until cooked to your desired doneness.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the toppings. Slice the tomato into rounds, and slice the onion into thin rings.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, and smoked paprika to create the burger sauce.
Lightly toast the burger buns in a separate dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a generous amount of the burger sauce on the bottom bun, add a leaf of lettuce, followed by a tomato slice, a cooked burger patty with melted cheese, and onion rings. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
