Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 4 Cheddar cheese slices
• 2 tbsp Prepared horseradish
• 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 4 Burger buns
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 8 Tomato slices
• 4 rings Sliced red onion

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined—avoid overworking the meat to keep the burgers tender.

Step 3

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing during cooking.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the prepared horseradish and mayonnaise to create the horseradish sauce. Set aside.

Step 5

Butter the insides of the burger buns lightly and set them aside for toasting later.

Step 6

Place the burger patties on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, without pressing down on them to retain their juices.

Step 7

Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the final minute of cooking to let it melt.

Step 8

While the burgers finish cooking, place the buttered burger buns on the grill, cut-side down, and toast for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the burger patties and buns from the grill. Let the patties rest for about 2 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 10

To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of the horseradish sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and a red onion ring.

Step 11

Place a grilled burger patty with melted cheese on top, then crown with the top bun. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like fries or a fresh salad.
