Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup dairy-free shredded cheese
- 0.5 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and dairy-free shredded cheese. Make sure the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the beef.
Add the finely chopped onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Use your hands or a fork to mix everything together until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb; this helps the patties cook evenly without puffing up.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. If you prefer your cheeseburgers well-done, you may need to cook them a bit longer.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy burger.
Serve the dairy-free cheeseburger patties on your favorite buns with toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, and a dollop of your favorite dairy-free condiment.
