Burger Patties

Cheese

Buns

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into 2 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 puffing while cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a 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 top of each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Prepare the Buns and Toppings

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

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

  2. 6

    Slice the Vegetables

    Wash and slice the tomato and onion. Prepare the lettuce, pickles, ketchup, and mustard.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 7

    Build the Burger

    Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer on the lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, and pickles. Drizzle ketchup and mustard on top, if desired.

  2. 8

    Top the Burger

    Place the top half of the bun over the toppings. Press down gently to secure the toppings.
