Classic Cheeseburger Griddle Patties
Ingredients
For the Patties
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef, 80/20 lean
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
For Assembly
- 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted, melted
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 American cheese slices
- 4 lettuce leaves, green leaf or iceberg
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup dill pickle chips

Instructions

In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the patties tough. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Form each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick and slightly wider than your hamburger buns, as they will shrink during cooking. Press a shallow indentation into the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from bulging.
