Beef Patty

Cheese and Toppings

Bun

Method

Prepare the Beef Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixed beef into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Heat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

Assemble the Cheeseburger

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

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

  2. 6

    Build the Burger

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