Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 2 tbsp butter (optional, for toasting buns)
- 2 pieces ripe avocado
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 0.25 tsp salt (for guacamole)
- 0.25 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 0.25 cup sliced red onions (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp black pepper, and 0.5 tsp garlic powder. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the ground beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties that are slightly larger than the buns (they will shrink while cooking).
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty to melt.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the guacamole. Slice and pit the avocados, scooping the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, then stir in lime juice, 0.25 tsp salt, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro. Mix well and set aside.
If desired, butter the burger buns lightly and toast them on the grill or in a skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun, add the cooked cheeseburger patty, spread a generous amount of guacamole over the top, and add sliced red onions if using.
Finish by placing the top half of the bun on each burger. Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy!
