Ingredients

• 0.5 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 4 slices Sourdough bread slices
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 slices Cheddar cheese (slices)
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Whole-grain mustard
• 2 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium-sized Tomato (sliced)
• 0.25 small Red onion (thinly sliced)
• 4 slices Pickles (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties slightly larger than the size of your sourdough bread slices, as they will shrink when cooking.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. While the skillet heats, spread butter evenly on one side of each sourdough bread slice.

Step 4

Place the patties in the hot skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, until a crust forms. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each one. Cover the pan and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 5

While the patties cook, toast the sourdough bread in another skillet over medium heat, buttered side down, until golden and crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Prepare the burger sauce by mixing mayonnaise and whole-grain mustard in a small bowl.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by spreading the burger sauce on the unbuttered side of two slices of toast. Place a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and a cooked burger patty on each. Top with thinly sliced red onions and pickles, if desired.

Step 8

Finish each burger with the remaining slices of toasted sourdough bread, buttered side up. Serve immediately and enjoy!
