Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces brioche burger buns
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 4 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tsp mustard
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 1 small red onion
- 8 slices pickles
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and gently shape each into a round patty roughly 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing during cooking.
Preheat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or pan.
Cook the burger patties for about 3-4 minutes on the first side without pressing them down. Flip the patties and cook for another 3 minutes, adding a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover the grill or pan with a lid to help the cheese melt.
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds and prepare the lettuce leaves and pickle slices.
Toast the brioche buns by spreading butter on the cut sides and placing them face down in a skillet or on the grill for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, and 1/2 teaspoon of mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a few slices of onion, 2 pickle slices, the cooked patty with melted cheese, and finally the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad.
