Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 pcs Brioche burger buns
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 4 pcs Lettuce leaves
• 4 pcs Tomato slices
• 4 pcs Red onion slices
• 4 pcs Pickles
• 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Ketchup
• 1 tsp Mustard

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Divide the seasoned beef into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about ¾-inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Place the burger patties on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side without pressing down on the patties.

Step 5

Flip the patties and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow the cheese to melt.

Step 6

While the patties cook, slice the brioche buns in half and spread butter on the cut sides. Toast the buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by spreading the burger sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, a cheese-covered patty, red onion slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 9

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