Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend for juicier burgers)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 whole Avocado
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Tomato slices
- 4 slices Red onion slices
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty, ensuring they are slightly larger than the cheese slices as they will shrink when cooked.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the beef patties and cook for about 4 minutes on one side until a crust forms.
Flip the patties and add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.
While the patties are cooking, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut into slices.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Set aside.
To assemble the burgers, lay two lettuce leaves on each plate. Place the cooked beef patty with melted cheese on top of the lettuce.
Top each patty with tomato slices, red onion slices, and avocado slices.
Drizzle the mayonnaise and Dijon mixture over the avocado.
Finish by placing the remaining lettuce leaves on top. Serve immediately, enjoying the burger with a fork and knife, if preferred.
