Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 Tomato
- 8 slices Dill pickle slices
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined without overworking the meat.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and gently shape each into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing during cooking.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
While the burgers are cooking, wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into rounds.
To assemble, place a piece of romaine on the plate as the bottom 'bun.' Place the cheeseburger patty on top.
Layer with a slice of tomato, a couple of pickle slices, a tablespoon of mayonnaise, and half a tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
Top with another romaine lettuce leaf and serve immediately.
