Burger Patty

Toppings

Method

Preparation of Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the burger patties on the grill or pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burger reaches your desired doneness.

Assembling the Cheeseburger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the burgers are cooking, wash the lettuce and slice the tomato.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place a cooked burger patty on top, followed by lettuce and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
