Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend for juicier burgers)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 whole Avocado
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 slices Tomato slices
• 4 slices Red onion slices
• 2 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty, ensuring they are slightly larger than the cheese slices as they will shrink when cooked.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the beef patties and cook for about 4 minutes on one side until a crust forms.

Step 4

Flip the patties and add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut into slices.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Set aside.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, lay two lettuce leaves on each plate. Place the cooked beef patty with melted cheese on top of the lettuce.

Step 8

Top each patty with tomato slices, red onion slices, and avocado slices.

Step 9

Drizzle the mayonnaise and Dijon mixture over the avocado.

Step 10

Finish by placing the remaining lettuce leaves on top. Serve immediately, enjoying the burger with a fork and knife, if preferred.
