Ingredients

Scale

1 lb 80/20 ground beef
4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup romaine or iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 large ripe tomato, sliced
4 soft hamburger buns
½ cup dill pickles, sliced
2 tbsp BBQ sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
In a bowl, mix ground beef with salt and pepper. Shape into four patties about 1 inch thick.
Press your thumb gently into the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.
Grill or cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side until they reach desired doneness.
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar on each patty and cover until melted.
Lightly toast hamburger buns until golden brown.
Assemble burgers by adding patties to buns, topping with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and a drizzle of BBQ sauce.
