Ingredients:

IngredientsAmount
Ground beef (80% lean)1 lb (16 oz)
Gluten-free breadcrumbs1/4 cup
Egg1 large
Garlic powder1 tsp
Onion powder1 tsp
Paprika1/2 tsp
Salt1 tsp
Black pepper1/2 tsp
Olive oil1 tbsp
Gluten-free hamburger buns4 buns
Cheese (optional)4 slices (cheddar or your choice)
LettuceA few leaves
Tomato slices1 medium
Pickles (optional)A few slices
Ketchup and mustard (optional)As desired

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Beef Patty Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, gluten-free breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together gently, being careful not to overwork the meat, which can make the patties tough.
  2. Form the Patties: Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten them into burger patties that are about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb (this will help them cook evenly and prevent puffing up).
  3. Cook the Patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the burger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. For medium, cook for 4 minutes per side for a nice pink center, or adjust the time for more well-done burgers.
  4. Toast the Buns: While the patties are cooking, toast the gluten-free hamburger buns in the same pan or in a separate toaster. Toast them until golden and crispy, which will add texture and help prevent the buns from getting soggy.
  5. Assemble the Burger: Once the patties are done, place a slice of cheese (if using) on each patty and let it melt for a minute or so. Place the cooked patty on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and any other toppings you like. Finish with the top bun.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the burger immediately with your favorite sides like crispy fries or a salad. Enjoy the juicy, gluten-free goodness of your Classic Beef Burger!
