Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 mix)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 4 buns Gluten-free burger buns
• 4 slices Cheese slices (optional)
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato, sliced
• 0.5 cup Pickles, sliced
• 0.25 cup Gluten-free mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 0.25 cup Yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

While the skillet is heating, portion the ground beef into 4 equal balls, about 4 ounces each.

Step 3

Season each ball lightly with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Once the skillet is hot, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 5

Place 2 balls of meat in the skillet, leaving space between them. Using a strong spatula, smash each ball down into a patty, about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side until deeply browned and caramelized. Flip and, if using, add a cheese slice immediately.

Step 7

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the bottom is browned and the cheese is melted. Remove and set aside. Repeat with the remaining meat.

Step 8

While the burgers cook, lightly toast the gluten-free buns in a toaster or under a broiler until golden.

Step 9

Spread gluten-free mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on each half of the buns.

Step 10

Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on the bottom half of the bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and the top bun.

Step 11

Serve immediately, enjoying the juicy and flavorful gluten-free smashed burger.
