Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 slices Monterey Jack cheese, sliced
- 4 pieces brioche burger buns
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1.5 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 8 slices pickles, sliced
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until the seasonings are incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Place the burger patties onto the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the second side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Monterey Jack cheese on top of each patty and cover with a lid or aluminum foil to allow the cheese to melt.
While the burgers are cooking, butter the brioche buns and lightly toast them on a separate skillet or grill until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, and Dijon mustard to make the burger sauce.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a layer of burger sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a few red onion slices, and two pickle slices. Place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese on top, then finish with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries, coleslaw, or a simple side salad.
