Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
• 8 ounces Pastrami, thinly sliced
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato, sliced
• 8 slices Pickles, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a small indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface.

Step 4

Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, warm the pastrami slices in a separate skillet over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until heated through.

Step 6

Toast the burger buns by melting the butter in a clean skillet or griddle and placing the cut sides of the buns face-down until golden and crispy.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create the burger sauce.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by spreading the sauce on the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Layer with lettuce leaves, a cooked burger patty with melted cheese, warmed pastrami slices, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other halves of the buns.

Step 9

Serve the pastrami cheese burgers immediately with your choice of sides, such as fries or a side salad. Enjoy!
