Ingredients

• 500 grams ground beef (80/20 mix)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 4 pieces cheddar cheese slices
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 large (sliced) tomato
• 0.5 sliced red onion
• 4 slices pickles
• 4 tablespoons ketchup
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

Step 3

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the skillet if using.

Step 4

Place the patties on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.

Step 5

During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the grill or skillet to melt the cheese.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and lightly toast them on a separate skillet or grill until golden brown.

Step 7

To assemble the burger, spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf over the mayonnaise.

Step 8

Top with the cooked beef patty with melted cheese, followed by a slice of tomato, some red onion rings, and a pickle slice.

Step 9

Spread ketchup and mustard on the top half of the bun. Place it on top of the assembled burger.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your choice of sides such as fries or a salad.
