Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 slice cheddar cheese, sliced
- 1 serrano peppers, thinly sliced
- 1 brioche hamburger bun
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp sriracha
- 1 lettuce leaf
- 2 slices sliced tomato
- 3 slices pickle chips
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix gently until the seasonings are evenly distributed, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Shape the seasoned ground beef into a patty about 1/2 inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center to ensure even cooking.
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patty and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side.
Flip the patty and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Place the slice of cheddar cheese on top of the patty during the last minute of cooking, and cover the pan with a lid to melt the cheese.
While the burger cooks, toast the brioche bun: spread the butter evenly on the inner sides of the bun and toast in another skillet or toaster oven until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha to create a spicy mayo spread.
Assemble the burger: spread the spicy mayo on both sides of the toasted bun. On the bottom bun, layer the lettuce leaf, tomato slices, and pickle chips.
Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top of the vegetables. Add the sliced serrano peppers for extra heat, and finish with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy burger creation!
