Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp hot sauce
• 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
• 4 brioche buns
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 0.25 cup pickled jalapeños
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 8 tomato slices
• 4 red onion slices

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and hot sauce. Mix gently until all ingredients are just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Use your thumb to press a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

Step 3

Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent the burgers from sticking.

Step 4

Place the burger patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or adjust the cooking time according to your preferred 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, lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and ketchup to make the burger sauce.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by spreading the sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce leaves, a cooked burger patty, tomato slices, red onion slices, and pickled jalapeños. Cap with the top half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries, coleslaw, or a crisp green salad.
