INGREDIENTS

6 oz Ground beef (93% lean)

1 oz Sharp cheddar cheese

1 whole Whole wheat thin bun

1 leaf Butter lettuce

2 slice Tomato

1 slice Red onion

1 tsp Dijon mustard

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Pre-heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

• 2

  In a bowl, gently mix the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, being careful not to overwork the meat.

• 3

  Form the beef into a single 6-ounce patty, slightly wider than the bun to account for shrinkage.

• 4

  Place the patty in the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on the first side until a savory brown crust forms.

• 5

  Flip the burger and immediately place the cheddar cheese slice on top.

• 6

  Cover the pan with a lid for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese while the burger finishes cooking to your desired doneness.

• 7

  Lightly toast the thin bun in the same pan or a toaster until golden.

• 8

  Spread Dijon mustard on the bottom bun, then layer the butter lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion.

• 9

  Place the cheeseburger patty on top of the vegetables and finish with the top bun.
