A delightful twist on the classic hamburger, these sandwiches combine the savory flavors of seasoned beef with a creamy salad topping, all served on a fresh bun.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef.
Use a spatula to break up the beef into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion is translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning, which can make it bitter.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet and let the mixture cool slightly.
Allowing the mixture to cool helps the other ingredients mix in better without wilting.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled beef mixture with chopped tomato, mayonnaise, diced pickles, mustard, salt, and pepper.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as needed before assembling the sandwiches.
Spoon the beef mixture onto the bottom halves of the buns.
Use a spoon to evenly distribute the filling for consistent flavor in each bite.
Top with a lettuce leaf and the top half of the bun.
For added crunch, you can lightly toast the buns before assembling.
Serve the sandwiches immediately and enjoy.
Serve with a side of fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
