Ingredients
- Ground beef
- 1 pound
- Sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/2 cup, chopped
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Cheddar cheese
- 4 slices
- Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup
- Lettuce
- 4 leaves, washed and dried
- Hamburger buns
- 4, toasted
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For a medium burger, aim for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover the grill or skillet to help the cheese melt beautifully.
- While the burgers are cooking, prepare the buns by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
- Assemble each burger by placing a lettuce leaf on the mayo-covered bun, followed by the cheesy burger patty, and finally, the top half of the bun.
- Serve the burgers hot with your favorite sides, such as sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in some dried herbs like oregano or basil into the beef mixture.
- You can substitute the cheddar cheese with mozzarella or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
- If you like a little kick, add some chopped jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
