Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 8 oz ground beef with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper; gently mix to incorporate seasoning without overworking. Form into a 4-inch diameter patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Step 2: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat to 450°F. Brush 1 tbsp olive oil on the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Place the beef patty on the grill and cook for 4 minutes on the first side until grill marks develop and the edges begin to brown.
Step 4: Flip the patty and immediately place 2 slices cheddar cheese on top. Grill for another 3-4 minutes until cheese melts and internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Step 5: Meanwhile, split 1 brioche bun and toast cut sides on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.
Step 6: In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp mayonnaise with 1 tsp minced chipotle in adobo sauce until well combined.
Step 7: Assemble the burger by spreading the chipotle mayo on both bun halves, then layering 1 lettuce leaf, grilled patty with melted cheese, 2 tomato slices, and 3 red onion rings. Close the sandwich and serve immediately.
