Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces tomato slices
- 8 pieces red onion slices
- 8 slices pickles
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4-inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Spread butter on the inner sides of each burger bun. Set them aside.
Place the patties on the preheated grill or skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side without moving them.
Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
While the patties cook, toast the buttered sides of the burger buns on the grill or skillet until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom bun, then add a lettuce leaf, 2 tomato slices, a cooked patty with melted cheese, 2 red onion slices, and 2 pickle slices. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of ketchup and 1/2 teaspoon of mustard. Top with the upper bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Foghorns Beef Burger with your favorite sides!
