Ingredients

• 500 grams ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
• 0.5 whole yellow onion
• 2 whole garlic cloves
• 50 grams panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
• 4 whole burger buns
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 whole lettuce leaves
• 4 whole tomato slices
• 8 whole pickle slices
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 4 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 teaspoons yellow mustard

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, panko breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1-inch thick. Make a small indent in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.

Step 4

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or oil.

Step 5

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness (3 minutes for medium-rare, 4 minutes for well-done). During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns. Spread butter on the cut side of each bun and place them on a heated skillet or grill pan, cut-side down, until golden brown and toasted.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, followed by lettuce, a cooked beef patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, and pickle slices. Spread ketchup and a small dollop of yellow mustard on the top half of the bun, then place it on top of the burger.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a simple salad.
