Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined, then divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Tavern Burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
