Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 1/2 cup crispy onion bits
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• Optional: lettuce and tomato for garnish

How to Make Cheesy Crunch Burger

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
3. Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
4. Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each one. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
5. While the burgers are cooking, toast the sesame seed buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
6. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together for a simple sauce.
7. Assemble the burgers: Spread the sauce on the bottom bun, add the cheesy patty, top with crispy onion bits, and any additional toppings like lettuce or tomato. Finish with the top bun.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your Cheesy Crunch Burger!

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, consider adding Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure your burger is cooked to the proper temperature.
• Let the patties rest for a few minutes before serving to retain their juices.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a spicy kick.
• Add avocado slices for creaminess and freshness.
• Use turkey or plant-based patties for a lighter option.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
• Coleslaw or a fresh garden salad
• Grilled corn on the cob
• Pickles or jalapeño slices for an extra zing
