INGREDIENTS

•    4 people
•     ( Prep: 15 minutes, Cook: 10-12 minutes )

1½ lb (680 g) ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
1 tbsp Dangold Roasted Garlic & Red Bell Pepper seasoning
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
4 slices of sharp cheddar cheese
4 brioche buns, toasted
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, sliced
4 lettuce leaves
Optional toppings: pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayo

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix the Meat: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Dangold’s Roasted Garlic & Red Bell Pepper seasoning, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Gently mix with your hands until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.
2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about ¾-inch thick. Press a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb (this helps prevent puffing during cooking).
3. Cook the Burgers: Grill or sear the patties for 4–5 minutes per side for medium doneness, flipping only once. Add the cheese slices in the last minute of cooking and cover with a lid or foil to melt.
4. Toast the Buns: While the burgers finish, toast the brioche buns face-down on the grill or skillet for 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
5. Assemble the Burgers: Layer the bottom bun with lettuce, then the burger patty. Add tomato, red onion, and any other desired toppings. Finish with the top bun.
6. Serve & Savor: Serve immediately with a side of fries, coleslaw, or chips—and enjoy every bold, savory bite!
