Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 Tomato
- 8 slices Dill pickle slices
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined without overworking the meat.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and gently shape each into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing during cooking.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Step 4
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Step 5
While the burgers are cooking, wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into rounds.
Step 6
To assemble, place a piece of romaine on the plate as the bottom 'bun.' Place the cheeseburger patty on top.
Step 7
Layer with a slice of tomato, a couple of pickle slices, a tablespoon of mayonnaise, and half a tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
Step 8
Top with another romaine lettuce leaf and serve immediately.
