Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20 blend
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 Swiss cheese slices
  • ½ cup green olives with pimientos finely chopped
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 4 Hamburger buns
  • garlic powder, onion powder optional

Instructions

  • In a bowl, I mix chopped green olives and mayonnaise. This mixture adds a zesty kick and creamy texture to the burger’s flavor profile.
  • I shape the ground beef into patties, seasoning each generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. These spices add layers of savory goodness to the beef.
    Patties for burger
  • I lightly toast the hamburger buns on a grill or in a skillet. This step ensures the buns are warm and slightly crispy, providing a perfect base for the burger.
  • I cook the seasoned patties to my preferred level of doneness. I personally love grilling them for that smoky flavor, but pan-frying works great too.
    Grilling patties
  • During the last minute of cooking, I place Swiss cheese slices on top of each patty to allow it to melt perfectly.
    Melting cheese
  • I spread a generous amount of the olive mayo mixture on the bottom bun. Next, I place the cheesy patty on top and finish with the top bun.
