Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Garlic powder
• 4 Small hamburger buns
• 4 tbsp Ketchup
• 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 4 Tomato slices
• 4 American cheese slices
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Gently mix with your hands until evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2-inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent bulging while cooking.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, place the burger patties into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving them to get a good sear, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 5

In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to let the cheese melt.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or on a dry skillet over low heat.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom bun and 1 tablespoon of ketchup on the top bun.

Step 8

Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a cheesy burger patty, a slice of tomato, and then cap it with the top bun.

Step 9

Repeat for all burgers and serve warm.
