Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 4 slices Mozzarella cheese slices
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Sliced tomatoes
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each patty and cover the pan to melt the cheese.
Step 5
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the tomato sauce and stir in the dried oregano. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 6
In another skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Toast the hamburger buns, cut side down, for 1-2 minutes or until golden and slightly crispy.
Step 7
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a cooked patty with melted cheese, then spoon a generous amount of warm tomato sauce over the top.
Step 8
Place a fresh tomato slice on top of the sauce and cover with the other half of the bun.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as fries or a salad, and enjoy!
