Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 8 slices Cheddar cheese (slices)
- 8 pieces Burger buns
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 8 pieces Lettuce (leaves)
- 2 pieces Tomato (sliced)
- 16 slices Pickles (sliced)
- 0.5 cups Ketchup
- 0.25 cups Mustard
Instructions
Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined—avoid overmixing.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about 1/2 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the middle of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Place the patties on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without pressing down on them.
Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty to melt.
While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and spread butter evenly over the cut sides. Lightly toast the buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Add a cooked patty with melted cheese on top of the lettuce.
Layer slices of tomato and pickles onto each burger. Drizzle with ketchup and mustard to taste.
Top the burgers with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately and enjoy!
