Preparation Steps
1
In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, chili powder, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well, then divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about 2 cm thick.
2
Heat a skillet or grill to medium-high heat. Brush the patties with a little olive oil, then cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until nicely browned and cooked through.
3
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt.
4
Meanwhile, halve the hamburger buns and toast them in a dry skillet or brushed with a little butter, until golden brown on the cut sides.
5
Prepare the vegetables: slice the tomato and red onion into thin rings, and slice the pickles.
6
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and ketchup. Spread the mixture on the cut sides of the toasted buns.
7
Assemble the burger: on the bottom bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cheesy beef patty, tomato slices, red onion rings, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
8
Serve immediately, preferably with french fries or homemade steak fries. Tip: For an even more intense spicy flavor, you can add extra chili powder to the meat mixture.
