Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 buns Brioche burger buns
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 4 large leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato, sliced
• 1 small Red onion, sliced
• 4 slices Dill pickles, sliced
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 0.25 cup Mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Be careful not to overwork the meat to avoid tough patties.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 3/4-inch thick. Use your thumb to make a shallow depression in the center of each patty. This will help the patties cook evenly.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Ensure it's properly preheated before placing the patties on it.

Step 4

Lightly butter the insides of the brioche buns and toast them on the grill until golden brown. Set aside.

Step 5

Place the patties on the hot grill. Cook on one side for about 3-4 minutes or until juices start to pool at the top of the patties.

Step 6

Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by placing a leaf of romaine lettuce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with the cheeseburger patty, followed by a slice of tomato, onion rings, and pickles.

Step 8

Spread ketchup and mustard on the top half of each bun, then place it over the assembled burger.

Step 9

Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
