Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 4 Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 1 Tomato, sliced
• 0.25 cup Pickles, sliced
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Butter
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Use your thumb to make a small indention in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly toast the burger buns for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in the same skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties to the pan.

Step 5

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on the first side, until a crust forms. Flip the patties and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the desired doneness is reached.

Step 6

Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt quickly.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Spread ketchup and mayonnaise on the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a few pickle slices.

Step 8

Place the cheese-covered patty on top of the vegetables, then cover with the top half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a salad.
