Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces Tomato slices
- 12 pieces Pickle slices
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 teaspoons Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Divide the seasoned beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾-inch thick. Make a small depression in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Place the burger patties into the hot skillet, depression side up, and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side or until the bottom develops a nice crust.
Flip the patties and cook for another 3 minutes. For cheeseburgers, place a cheddar cheese slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, either on a separate pan or under a broiler.
Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom bun, followed by a cooked burger patty, a lettuce leaf, 2 tomato slices, 3 pickle slices, and 1 tablespoon of ketchup. Add mustard if desired. Top with the upper bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries or a salad.
