Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 large Tomato
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 medium Red onion
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients with your hands or a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix as this could make the patties tough.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the middle of each to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the burger patties to the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
While the burgers are cooking, slice the avocado and tomato. Also, slice the red onion into thin rings.
After flipping the burgers, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.
Once the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked through, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
Assemble the bunless burgers by placing each patty on a piece of lettuce, and top with sliced avocado, tomato, and red onion.
Serve immediately while hot, with additional lettuce as a top 'bun' if desired.
