Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 4 burger buns
- 4 American cheese slices
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomato
- 8 slices sliced pickles
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp sweet relish
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, prepare the burger spread by combining the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet relish, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well and set aside.
Step 2
Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 4
Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the final minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.
Step 5
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a separate pan or under a broiler for about 1-2 minutes until golden and warm.
Step 6
Spread a generous layer of the prepared burger spread on the inside of both the top and bottom buns.
Step 7
Layer the bottom bun with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and 2 pickle slices. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top.
Step 8
Finish by placing the top bun over the patty, gently pressing down to secure the layers.
Step 9
Repeat the assembly with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more burgers.
Step 10
Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy!
