Craft your own juicy beef burger topped with a creamy special sauce for a delicious homemade meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix gently with your hands, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties with a slight indentation.
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on one side.
- Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. If adding cheese, place a slice on top during the last minute of cooking.
- Prepare the special sauce by mixing mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, pickle relish, and garlic powder in a bowl.
- Toast the hamburger buns until golden brown.
- Assemble the burger by spreading special sauce on the bottom bun, adding lettuce, the cooked patty, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
