Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 large Tomato
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 medium Red onion
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Mix the ingredients with your hands or a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix as this could make the patties tough.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the middle of each to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the burger patties to the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
Step 6
While the burgers are cooking, slice the avocado and tomato. Also, slice the red onion into thin rings.
Step 7
After flipping the burgers, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.
Step 8
Once the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked through, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
Step 9
Assemble the bunless burgers by placing each patty on a piece of lettuce, and top with sliced avocado, tomato, and red onion.
Step 10
Serve immediately while hot, with additional lettuce as a top 'bun' if desired.
