Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Angus beef
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 Hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 leaves Lettuce
- 1 large, sliced Tomato
- 8 slices Pickles
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup
- 4 teaspoons Mustard
Instructions
Start by seasoning the Angus beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little bit of oil to prevent sticking.
Once the grill or skillet is hot, cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, or until a nice crust forms.
Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each one. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patty reaches your desired level of doneness.
While the patties are cooking, spread butter on the insides of the hamburger buns and toast them on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, two slices of pickles, a tablespoon of ketchup, and a teaspoon of mustard.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your classic Angus cheeseburger!
