Burger Patties

Toppings

Burger Buns

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Patty Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overworking the meat.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each one. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or skillet for a minute.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burger

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