Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
• 4 ounces cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 4 pieces brioche burger buns
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 leaves lettuce
• 1 piece beefsteak tomato (sliced)
• 8 pieces pickle slices
• 4 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 tablespoons mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the ground beef mixture into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 3

Flatten each ball into a thin patty. Cut the cheddar cheese into 4 equal squares and place one square in the center of a patty.

Step 4

Place another patty on top of the cheese and press the edges together to seal. Ensure there are no gaps for the cheese to leak out. Repeat with the remaining patties and cheese.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or the pan.

Step 6

Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Avoid pressing down on the burgers to retain their juiciness.

Step 7

While the burgers cook, slice the brioche buns in half. Spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides and toast them on a skillet or grill until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by layering a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the cheddar-stuffed patty, a slice of tomato, 2 pickle slices, and a drizzle of ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a salad.
