Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (85% lean)
• 4 gluten-free hamburger buns
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 1 small red onion, sliced
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) ketchup
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) mustard
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) mayonnaise
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and form each into a patty. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Brush the grill or skillet with olive oil. Place the patties on the grill or skillet, and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.
4. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover the grill or skillet to allow the cheese to melt.
5. While the patties cook, toast the gluten-free buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
6. To assemble the burgers, spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the buns. On each bun bottom, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a slice of tomato, a slice of onion, and a cheese-topped patty. Cover with the bun tops.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade gluten-free classic burger.
