Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Dairy-free cheese slices
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 Tomato
- 0.5 Red onion
- 8 slices Pickles
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup
- 4 teaspoons Mustard
- 4 tablespoons Dairy-free mayonnaise
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overwork the mixture to prevent tough burgers.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and gently shape each portion into a loose, round patty about 3/4 inch thick. Use your thumb to create a slight indent in the center of each patty. This helps prevent puffing up during cooking.
Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet to prevent sticking.
Place the patties on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or to your desired level of doneness.
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of dairy-free cheese on each patty and cover with a lid or aluminum foil to enable the cheese to melt quickly.
While the burgers are cooking, slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds.
Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a skillet for about 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a tablespoon of dairy-free mayonnaise on the bottom bun. Place a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a few rings of red onion on top.
Add the patty with melted cheese over the vegetables. Top with two pickle slices, a tablespoon of ketchup, and a teaspoon of mustard.
Finish with the top bun and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
