Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 4 slices Dairy-free cheddar cheese slices
• 4 pieces Hamburger buns
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato
• 1 small Red onion
• 8 slices Pickle slices
• 4 tablespoons Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Mustard
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined, but do not overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and gently shape each into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, place the beef patties in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Step 5

During the last minute of cooking, add a dairy-free cheddar cheese slice on top of each patty, cover the pan with a lid, and allow the cheese to melt slightly.

Step 6

Remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 7

Meanwhile, slice the tomato and onion into thin rounds.

Step 8

Toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or on a dry skillet until they are lightly browned.

Step 9

Assemble the cheeseburgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, onion slices, and pickle slices.

Step 10

Spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup and 1/2 tablespoon of mustard on the top half of the buns.

Step 11

Place the top bun over the assembled ingredients and serve immediately.
