Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Onion powder
• 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 piece Tomato, sliced
• 0.5 piece Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Pickles, sliced
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Ketchup
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently but thoroughly to combine without overworking the meat.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty (this prevents puffing during cooking).

Step 3

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease with olive oil.

Step 4

Place the burger patties onto the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 4 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the second side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Step 5

In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover with a lid or foil to help the cheese melt.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a dry skillet until golden brown.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, and Dijon mustard to create the special sauce.

Step 8

To assemble the burgers, spread the special sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a cheeseburger patty, a slice of tomato, red onion slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or coleslaw, and enjoy Dawn's Dream Burgers!
