Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

How to Make Classic Cheeseburger with Creamy Sauce

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and pepper. Form the mixture into four equal patties, making a slight indent in the center of each patty to prevent bulging while cooking.
2. Heat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet.
3. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
4. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the creamy garlic sauce by combining mayonnaise and garlic powder in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside.
5. Toast the sesame seed buns in the same skillet for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing shredded lettuce and tomato slices on the bottom half of each bun. Top with the cheesy beef patty and finish with the top half of the bun.
7. Serve the burgers with the creamy garlic sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips for the Best Results

• Don’t overwork the beef when forming the patties; this keeps them tender.
• Always check the internal temperature of the meat to ensure it’s fully cooked.
• Let the patties rest for a minute before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Easy Variations

• Swap out cheddar cheese for your favorite cheese like Swiss or pepper jack for a kick.
• Add crispy bacon for an extra layer of flavor.
• Try different sauces like BBQ or hot sauce for variety.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
• Coleslaw for a crunchy side
• Grilled corn on the cob
• A fresh garden salad
