Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 4 Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 Tomato, sliced
- 0.25 cup Pickles, sliced
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Use your thumb to make a small indention in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Melt the butter in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly toast the burger buns for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in the same skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties to the pan.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on the first side, until a crust forms. Flip the patties and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the desired doneness is reached.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt quickly.
Assemble the burgers: Spread ketchup and mayonnaise on the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a few pickle slices.
Place the cheese-covered patty on top of the vegetables, then cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a salad.
