There is no better hamburger recipe than this one. It will satisfy all your burger cravings. It's juicy and tasty, and it's perfect for grilling season.

Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds ground beef 80% lean. 1/2 cup grated onion. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1/4 cup bread crumbs. 1 egg, beaten. 1 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. 4 hamburger buns. 4 slices of cheddar cheese. Lettuce leaves. Tomato slices. Pickles. Ketchup and mustard for condiments.

Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, minced garlic, bread crumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix the ingredients until well combined, but avoid overmixing, as it can make the burgers tough. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, making sure they are slightly larger in diameter than the hamburger buns to account for shrinkage during cooking. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking. Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty and close the grill lid to melt the cheese. While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill until they are lightly browned. Assemble the hamburgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a burger patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, and pickles. Spread ketchup and mustard on the top half of the buns and place them on top of the assembled burgers. Serve hot with your favorite sides and enjoy!
