Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground brisket
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 Burger buns
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 4 Tomato slices
• 4 Red onion slices
• 1 cup Pickles
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground brisket with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inches thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to allow the cheese to melt.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, butter the inside of the burger buns and toast them on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.

Step 6

To assemble the burgers, spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a cooked patty with melted cheese on top.

Step 7

Add lettuce, tomato slices, red onion slices, and pickles to each burger. Drizzle ketchup and mustard over the toppings.

Step 8

Place the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately.
