Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, taco seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Swirl to coat the skillet evenly.
Place the burger patties in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, until browned and cooked halfway through.
Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, allowing it to melt.
While the patties cook, lightly toast the hamburger buns in another dry skillet or toaster, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and a drizzle of hot sauce, if using.
Place the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately. Enjoy your Taco Skillet Burgers!
