Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 4 hamburger buns
• 1 cup fresh lettuce leaves
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cooking oil for grilling

How to Make Cheesy Beef Burger with Creamy Sauce

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty (this helps them cook evenly).
3. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of cooking oil.
4. Once hot, place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned.
5. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on 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.
6. While the patties are cooking, prepare the creamy sauce by mixing together the mayonnaise, ketchup, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl until well combined.
7. Once the burgers are done, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a minute.
8. To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of the creamy sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, then place the cheesy beef patty on top. Finish with the top half of the bun.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your Juicy Cheesy Beef Burger!

Tips for the Best Results

• Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure patties are cooked to the safe temperature of 160°F.
• For extra flavor, consider adding spices or herbs to the beef mixture.
• Allow the patties to rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep them juicy.

Easy Variations

• Swap out cheddar for your favorite cheese, like Swiss or pepper jack.
• Add toppings such as sliced tomatoes, pickles, or sautéed onions for a flavor boost.
• Use whole grain or brioche buns for a different texture.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
• Coleslaw for a refreshing crunch
• A simple side salad with vinaigrette
• Onion rings for a classic diner experience
