Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 burger buns
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 8 pickle slices
• 4 tomato slices
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 red onion slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop griddle to medium-high heat.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about ¾ inch thick, making a shallow indention in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing during cooking.

Step 4

Place the burger patties on the grill or griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side without pressing down on them.

Step 5

Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each one. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.

Step 6

While the burgers are cooking, spread butter on the cut sides of the burger buns and toast them on the grill or griddle until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, and dijon mustard to make the burger sauce.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers: Spread the sauce on the bottom half of each bun, then layer with lettuce, a cooked burger patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, pickle slices, and red onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy!
