Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground beef and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
1 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola oil or vegetable oil)
4 slices american cheese or cheddar cheese (optional)

For serving

4 hamburger buns
Chef's tip
Whole-grain buns are denser, so the texture will be heartier.
1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
4 leaves green leaf or iceberg lettuce (optional)
1 large tomato, sliced (optional)
½ small white onion, thinly sliced (optional)
ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise, to taste (optional)

Instructions

1
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions (about 6 oz each). Gently form each into a patty roughly 3/4 inch thick, pressing a shallow dimple into the center of each with your thumb to prevent doming during cooking. Season both sides generously with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2
Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet or heavy skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and just begins to smoke.
