Burger Patties

Burger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Chill Patties

    Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 4

    Heat Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, you may want to add a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 5

    Cook Patties

    Place the patties on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil to help melt the cheese.

Assembling the Burgers

  1. 7

    Toast Buns

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

  2. 8

    Layer Ingredients

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

  3. 9

    Top and Serve

    Place the top half of the bun on each burger. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
