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
- 4 leaves large lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomato
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well with your hands or a fork until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Divide the seasoned beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4-inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and melt the butter.
Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, add the patties to the skillet.
Cook the burgers for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, without moving them, until a crust forms.
Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each burger. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare your toppings. Wash the lettuce leaves and pat them dry. Slice the tomato.
Once the burgers are done, remove them from the pan and let them rest for a minute.
On a clean plate, place a lettuce leaf. Top with a burger patty, followed by a slice of tomato.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and 1/2 tablespoon of dijon mustard on top of each burger.
Cover with another lettuce leaf and serve immediately.
