Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 4 burger buns
- 4 American cheese slices
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomato
- 8 slices sliced pickles
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp sweet relish
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, prepare the burger spread by combining the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet relish, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well and set aside.
Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the final minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a separate pan or under a broiler for about 1-2 minutes until golden and warm.
Spread a generous layer of the prepared burger spread on the inside of both the top and bottom buns.
Layer the bottom bun with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and 2 pickle slices. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top.
Finish by placing the top bun over the patty, gently pressing down to secure the layers.
Repeat the assembly with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more burgers.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy!
