Calories: 300kcal
Ingredients
Burgers:
- 1 lb ButcherBox ground beef
- ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 lb lettuce we like bibb lettuce but you can also use iceberg
- 1 cup sliced tomatoes
- ½ cup sliced cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup red onion optional
Sauce:
- ¼ cup plain greek yogurt nonfat or full fat
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon chopped pickle
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine the ground beef, pepper, salt and garlic powder. Mix to combine. Be sure not to over mix!
- Divide mixture into 8 even portions (about 2 oz each). Using slightly wet hands, form into even patties. (You can also use these burger patty makers)
- Preheat your grill or heat a heavy cast iron pan over medium heat and cook burgers for 4-5 minutes. Flip, then cook for an additional 5 minutes. You’ll know they are cooked through when they are golden brown and a meat thermometer reads 165℉ when inserted into the center.
- About 1 minute before they’re finished cooking, add cheese and cover the grill, or place another pan on top to create a dome like structure so the cheese melts from the steam of the pan.
- Remove burgers from the and let rest for 4-5 minutes before enjoying.
- Mix together your sauce & assemble burgers with your favorite toppings on top of the lettuce.
