Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 8 slices Pickles
- 1 large Avocado
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal parts and shape them into patties. Ensure they are slightly larger than the cheese slices as they will shrink while cooking.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Once the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, add the patties.
Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on the first side or until they form a nice crust.
Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on each one. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from skillet and allow to rest.
While the patties are resting, slice the tomato and avocado.
To assemble the burgers, start with a large lettuce leaf as the base.
Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise (or as desired) on each lettuce leaf.
Place the cooked beef patty with melted cheese on top of the mayo-covered lettuce leaf.
Add two slices of pickle, a slice or two of tomato, and a few slices of avocado on top of each patty.
Drizzle approximately 0.5 tablespoon of mustard over the toppings.
Top each burger with another lettuce leaf, and serve immediately.
