Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (or plant-based alternative)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 4 pieces Dairy-free burger buns
- 4 pieces Fresh lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Sliced tomatoes
- 4 slices Sliced dairy-free cheese
- 4 tbsp Ketchup
- 4 tbsp Mustard
- 8 slices Pickles
- 1 tbsp Avocado oil or other vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef (or plant-based alternative) with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until everything is evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4-inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil.
Once the grill or skillet is hot, add the patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.
Flip the patties and add a slice of dairy-free cheese on top of each. Cover the grill or skillet loosely with foil or a lid to help the cheese melt. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through to your desired level of doneness.
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a separate pan.
Assemble the burger by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cheese-covered patty, a slice of tomato, and two slices of pickle.
Spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup and 1 tablespoon of mustard on the top half of each bun, then place on top of the assembled burger.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Dairy-Free Classic Burger!
