Burger Patties

Toppings

Burger Assembly

Method

Prepare the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix with your hands until evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill or Skillet

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

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt the cheese.

Prepare Toppings

  1. 6

    Slice Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion into thin rings. Set aside.

  2. 7

    Prepare Lettuce and Pickles

    Wash the lettuce leaves and pat them dry. Prepare the pickles by slicing them if they are whole.

Assemble the Burgers

  1. 8

    Toast the Buns (optional)

    If desired, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 9

    Build the Burger

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

  3. 10

    Finish Assembly

    Place the top half of the bun on the assembled burger. Serve immediately.
