Sink your teeth into this irresistible Dairy-Free Juicy Cheeseburger Patty—perfect for those who love big flavor but need to skip dairy! Made with tender ground beef and melty dairy-free shredded cheese, these patties are infused with the savory kick of Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and finely chopped onion for a rich, well-rounded taste. The secret to their juiciness lies in shaping the patties with a thumb indentation, ensuring even cooking and no puffing up in the skillet. In just 25 minutes from prep to plate, this easy recipe delivers a burger that’s crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. Whether served with gluten-free buns, fresh toppings, or your favorite dairy-free condiments, these patties are a game-changer for allergen-friendly comfort food.
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.
