Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pcs Brioche burger buns
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 4 pcs Lettuce leaves
- 4 pcs Tomato slices
- 4 pcs Red onion slices
- 4 pcs Pickles
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Ketchup
- 1 tsp Mustard
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Divide the seasoned beef into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about ¾-inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the burger patties on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side without pressing down on the patties.
Flip the patties and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow the cheese to melt.
While the patties cook, slice the brioche buns in half and spread butter on the cut sides. Toast the buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard to create the burger sauce.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the burger sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, a cheese-covered patty, red onion slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a salad.
