Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 2 tbsp Fresh chives, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Pitted green olives, finely chopped
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces Sliced tomatoes
• 4 rings Sliced red onion (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, sour cream, chopped chives, chopped green olives, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the burgers tough.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Place the burger patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130–135°F. For medium, 140–145°F.

Step 5

While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.

Step 6

Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the grill or skillet and let them rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked patty. Top with a slice of tomato and red onion, if using. Add the top half of the bun to complete the burger.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
