Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 4 slices American cheese slices
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 piece tomato, sliced
- 1 piece red onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 slices pickles (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty roughly 1/2-inch thick. Make a small indent in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, and yellow mustard. Set aside.
Heat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan with olive oil.
Place the burger patties on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for well-done burgers.
Brush each patty with the honey mustard sauce during the last 2 minutes of cooking on the second side. Add a slice of American cheese on top of each patty and cover with a lid briefly to melt the cheese.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a patty with melted cheese. Add tomato slices, red onion slices, and pickles (if using). Drizzle additional honey mustard sauce on the top half of the bun.
Close the burgers with the top bun and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a crisp salad.
