Ingredients
- 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 8 slices Cheddar cheese (slices)
- 8 pieces Burger buns
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 8 pieces Lettuce (leaves)
- 2 pieces Tomato (sliced)
- 16 slices Pickles (sliced)
- 0.5 cups Ketchup
- 0.25 cups Mustard
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined—avoid overmixing.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about 1/2 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the middle of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Step 4
Place the patties on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without pressing down on them.
Step 5
Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty to melt.
Step 6
While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and spread butter evenly over the cut sides. Lightly toast the buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.
Step 7
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Add a cooked patty with melted cheese on top of the lettuce.
Step 8
Layer slices of tomato and pickles onto each burger. Drizzle with ketchup and mustard to taste.
Step 9
Top the burgers with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately and enjoy!
