Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp onion powder
• 4 slices Gouda cheese slices
• 4 units burger buns
• 4 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 4 leaves lettuce leaves
• 8 slices tomato slices
• 8 slices pickles
• 2 tbsp butter

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4-inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty using your thumb to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil or cooking spray.

Step 4

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip them and cook for an additional 3 minutes on the other side. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Gouda cheese on each patty and cover with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.

Step 5

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

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and ketchup to create a burger sauce.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Spread the sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a lettuce leaf, followed by a cheese-topped patty, two slices of tomato, and pickle slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve the Gouda cheeseburgers immediately with your favorite sides like fries, chips, or a fresh salad.
