Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
• 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for cooking

How to Make Cheesy Beef Burger with Spinach

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; do not overwork the meat.
2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, slightly larger than the buns to account for shrinkage while cooking.
3. Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
4. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each one. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
5. While the burgers are cooking, toast the sesame seed buns in a separate pan until golden brown.
6. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, then layer with fresh spinach. Place the cheesy burger patty on top, and finish with the top half of the bun.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious cheesy beef burger!

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure your burgers are cooked to a safe temperature of 160°F.
• Let the patties rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to lock in juices.
• Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, like pepper jack or gouda, for a twist.

Easy Variations

• Add sliced tomatoes or pickles for extra crunch.
• Swap out spinach for arugula or lettuce for a different flavor profile.
• Spice it up with a dollop of your favorite hot sauce or barbecue sauce.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries.
• A refreshing side salad with a vinaigrette dressing.
• Coleslaw for a crunchy, tangy side.
• Grilled vegetables for a healthier option.
