Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

4 slices American cheese

4 toasted brioche burger buns

½ cup dill pickles, sliced

¼ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons ketchup

2 tablespoons yellow mustard

1 avocado, sliced (optional)

Leafy romaine lettuce (for crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Seasoning: In a medium bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

    Form the Patties: Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then apply the seasoning mixture evenly to both sides of each ball.

      Cook the Patties: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the beef balls on the skillet and immediately press down with a spatula to flatten into patties. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving them.

        Add Cheese: Flip the patties, top each with a slice of American cheese, and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the burgers are cooked through (160°F internally) and the cheese is melted.

          Prepare the Sauce: While burgers are cooking, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard in a small bowl. Adjust to taste if necessary.

            Assemble the Burgers: On the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun, spread a generous amount of the sauce. Layer with crisp romaine lettuce, a slice of the juicy burger, dill pickles, and avocado slices if desired. Top with the burger bun.

              Serve Immediately: Serve the burgers with a side of crispy fries or chips for a complete meal.
