Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- to taste ketchup
- to taste mustard
- to taste mayonnaise
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F (190-204°C).
In a large bowl, gently mix ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until just combined.
Divide the meat into 4 equal parts and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the middle of each patty to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Once the grill is heated, lightly oil the grates. Place the patties on the grill, indent-side up, and cook for 3-4 minutes until they release easily from the grates.
Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium.
Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes while you toast the hamburger buns on the grill, cut side down, for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun, topped with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, slices of onion, and any desired condiments like ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise.
Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
