- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup diced cucumbers
- 1/2 cup diced red bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/3 cup white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 4 burger buns
- Lettuce leaves
- Sliced tomatoes
- Sliced red onions
- Cheese slices (optional)
- Your favorite condiments (mustard, mayonnaise, or ketchup)
-
Prepare the Relish:
- In a bowl, combine the diced cucumbers, red bell peppers, and onions.
- In a separate small saucepan, mix the white vinegar, sugar, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Heat over medium until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to simmer.
- Pour the vinegar mixture over the diced vegetables and stir to combine. Let it sit for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. You can refrigerate it for an extra burst of freshness.
-
Make the Burger Patties:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until just combined—be careful not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
-
Cook the Patties:
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. If you like cheese, place a slice of cheese on top of the patty in the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.
-
Toast the Buns:
- While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a pan until golden brown.
-
Assemble the Burger:
- Start by placing a layer of lettuce on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
- Add a slice of tomato and a few rings of red onion for a fresh crunch.
- Place the cooked patty on top of the veggies, followed by a generous spoonful of the homemade relish.
- Optionally, add your favorite condiments (mustard, mayo, or ketchup) on the top bun.
- Close the burger with the top bun and press gently.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve your relish burgers hot with your favorite sides like fries, coleslaw, or chips.
- Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!
