Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 pieces brioche or hamburger buns
- 4 slices sliced cheddar cheese (optional)
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 4 slices tomato slices
- 8 slices pickle slices (optional)
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 teaspoons mustard
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until evenly combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal-sized portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4-inch thick. Make a small indentation with your thumb in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up during grilling.
Place the patties onto the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side.
Flip the patties and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F for well-done burgers. Add cheese slices on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking, if desired.
While the patties cook, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 1 minute, cut-side down.
Assemble the burgers: Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the bottom bun. Add lettuce, a cooked patty, tomato slices, pickles, and then place the top bun.
Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides such as fries, coleslaw, or a salad.
