Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices cheddar cheese (slices)
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 piece yellow onion (medium, thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 piece tomato (sliced)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, then divide into 4 equal portions and shape into patties slightly larger than your buns. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove onions from the skillet and set aside.
In a small bowl, prepare the garlic aioli by mixing mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined and refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
While the burgers are cooking, spread butter on the cut sides of the burger buns. Toast the buns in a skillet or on the grill until golden brown.
To assemble the burger, spread a generous layer of garlic aioli on the bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with caramelized onions and place the top bun over everything.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a salad.
