Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces Tomato slices
- 12 pieces Pickle slices
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 teaspoons Mustard
- 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 seasoned beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾-inch thick. Make a small depression in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 4
Place the burger patties into the hot skillet, depression side up, and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side or until the bottom develops a nice crust.
Step 5
Flip the patties and cook for another 3 minutes. For cheeseburgers, place a cheddar cheese slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
Step 6
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, either on a separate pan or under a broiler.
Step 7
Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom bun, followed by a cooked burger patty, a lettuce leaf, 2 tomato slices, 3 pickle slices, and 1 tablespoon of ketchup. Add mustard if desired. Top with the upper bun.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries or a salad.
