Classic Juicy Beef Burger

Ingredients:

✅ For the Patties:

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 fat ratio for juiciness)
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional, for extra flavor)

✅ For the Toppings:

• 4 burger buns (brioche or sesame seed buns recommended)
• 4 slices cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or American)
• Lettuce leaves
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• Pickles (optional)

✅ For the Burger Sauce:

• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1 tsp pickle relish (or finely chopped pickles)
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1️⃣ Prepare the Patties:

• In a bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
• Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form them into patties, about 6.7 inches in diameter and 1.5 cm thick (perfect for your burger press!).
• Press a slight indent in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing up while cooking.

2️⃣ Cook the Patties:

• Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
• Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side (for medium doneness) or longer if you prefer well-done.
• In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and let it melt.

3️⃣ Toast the Buns:

• Lightly butter the buns and toast them on the grill or skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

4️⃣ Make the Burger Sauce:

• Mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

5️⃣ Assemble the Burgers:

• Spread the sauce on the bottom bun.
• Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and onions.
• Place the cheesy burger patty on top.
• Cover with the top bun and press gently.

6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!

• Serve with fries, coleslaw, or a side salad for the ultimate meal.

💡 Pro Tips:
✔ Use 80/20 beef for the juiciest burger.
✔ Don’t overwork the meat—handle it lightly for tender patties.
✔ Let the patties rest for 5 minutes after cooking for maximum juiciness.
✔ Want extra flavor? Add crispy bacon or a fried egg on top!
