Method

Burger Patty Preparation

Mix Ingredients

In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until well combined.

Form Patties

Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty.

Cooking the Burger

Preheat Grill or Skillet

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook Patties

Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burger

Prepare the Buns

Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

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, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

Cook the Sides

Cook Fries

Prepare frozen fries according to package instructions, typically baking or frying them until they are golden brown and crispy.
