Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces slices of cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 4 pieces sliced tomato
- 4 rings sliced onion
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 4 tablespoons mustard
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, ensuring the edges are slightly thicker than the center to prevent puffing.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
Place the burger patties into the skillet, leaving space between each one. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, undisturbed, to develop a proper sear.
Flip the burgers using a wide spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness, or to your preferred level. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each burger in the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.
While the burgers are cooking, spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides of the burger buns. Toast them on a separate skillet or grill pan over medium heat until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with a slice of tomato, an onion ring, and a drizzle of ketchup and mustard, or other condiments of your choice. Finally, add the top bun.
Serve the Sizzle Burger Hamburgers immediately while hot. Enjoy!
