Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 large onion
4 slices American cheese
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 hamburger dill pickle slices
4 lettuce leaves
Cooking oil for frying
Instructions
Slice the onion into 1/4-inch thick rings and separate the rings. You will need about 16 rings for wrapping the burgers.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then form into 4 equal patties.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little cooking oil. Fry the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.
While the burgers are cooking, take the onion rings and wrap 4 rings around each burger patty, securing them with toothpicks if necessary. Once the burgers are done, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
To assemble, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom of each burger bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by the onion-wrapped burger patty, and add a pickle slice. Top with the other half of the bun.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the mayonnaise.
You can also swap out the American cheese for cheddar or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
