Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 pieces hamburger buns
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, taco seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Swirl to coat the skillet evenly.

Step 4

Place the burger patties in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, until browned and cooked halfway through.

Step 5

Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, allowing it to melt.

Step 6

While the patties cook, lightly toast the hamburger buns in another dry skillet or toaster, if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by placing a cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and a drizzle of hot sauce, if using.

Step 8

Place the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately. Enjoy your Taco Skillet Burgers!
