Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (85% lean)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 slices Dairy-free cheddar cheese slices
- 4 whole Burger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 large, sliced Tomato
- 0.5 medium, sliced Red onion
- 8 slices Pickles
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Mustard
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Divide the seasoned meat into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, roughly 3/4 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a shallow indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
Preheat a grill or stovetop griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
Place the burger patties on the preheated grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until your desired doneness is achieved. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of dairy-free cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to allow the cheese to melt.
While the burgers are cooking, slice the tomato and red onion and set aside.
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster oven.
To assemble the burgers, spread a tablespoon of ketchup and mustard on the top and bottom buns. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half, followed by a cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, a few rings of red onion, and two slices of pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve the dairy-free burgers immediately, alongside your favorite side dishes like fries or a salad.
