Ingredients

  • 500 gram ground beef
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of minced garlic
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • Cheddar cheese slices
  • 4 burger buns
  • Sliced tomatoes, lettuce, onion slices

Instructions

  • Mix the ground beef with onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, and spices in a large bowl. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into medium-thick patties. Place the patties in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
    Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and grease it with a little vegetable oil. Cook the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side or until the desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty and let it melt.
    Open the burger buns and spread mayonnaise on the base. Layer with lettuce leaves, a slice of tomato, the cheese-topped burger, and onion slices. Add sauces as desired and close the burger.

This recipe is easy to prepare during family gatherings or BBQ parties and can be served to suit everyone.
It can also be served with fried potatoes or a side salad for a complete meal.
For a smoky flavor, use a grill instead of a pan. You can also add other ingredients like pickles or avocado slices.
Healthy alternatives can be used, such as plant-based meat or ground chicken instead of beef, low-fat cheese instead of regular cheese, and yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
Ensure not to press the burger during cooking to retain the meat's juices. Calories can also be easily reduced by removing the cheese or replacing white bread with whole-grain bread.
