Ingredients

• 2 lbs Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 8 slices Cheddar cheese (slices)
• 8 pieces Burger buns
• 4 tbsp Butter
• 8 pieces Lettuce (leaves)
• 2 pieces Tomato (sliced)
• 16 slices Pickles (sliced)
• 0.5 cups Ketchup
• 0.25 cups Mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined—avoid overmixing.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about 1/2 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the middle of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

Step 4

Place the patties on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without pressing down on them.

Step 5

Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty to melt.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and spread butter evenly over the cut sides. Lightly toast the buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Add a cooked patty with melted cheese on top of the lettuce.

Step 8

Layer slices of tomato and pickles onto each burger. Drizzle with ketchup and mustard to taste.

Step 9

Top the burgers with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately and enjoy!
