A delicious grilled burger topped with melted cheese and a creamy mayo sauce, perfect for a summer barbecue or a quick weeknight dinner.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the beef into four equal patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Grill the patties for about 5-6 minutes on one side, then flip them.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
While the burgers are grilling, prepare the mayo sauce by mixing mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard in a small bowl. Adjust the quantities to taste.
Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the grilled patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and a generous dollop of the mayo sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
