Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 avocado
- 1 medium tomato
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 0.5 red onion
- 4 cheddar cheese slices
- 8 slices pickle slices
Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, roughly 1/2 inch thick.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef patties and cook for about 4 minutes on one side, then flip and continue cooking another 3-4 minutes to desired doneness.
Step 3
While the patties are cooking, slice the avocado and tomato into even slices. Also, thinly slice the red onion.
Step 4
When the patties are almost done, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the pan to let the cheese melt, approximately 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest briefly.
Step 6
To assemble the bunless burgers, start with a lettuce leaf, then place a cooked patty with melted cheese on top. Add slices of avocado, tomato, red onion, and pickles. Finish with another lettuce leaf on top.
Step 7
Serve immediately, either with additional condiments of choice such as mustard, ketchup, or a preferred sauce, or enjoy as is.
