Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Mixing Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Forming Patties

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

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Grilling

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

  2. 4

    Adding Cheese

    Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patty is cooked to your desired doneness.

Assembling the Cheeseburgers

  1. 5

    Building the Burger

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster. On the bottom half of each bun, place a patty with melted cheese. Top with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onion.

  2. 6

    Adding Condiments

    Spread ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise on the top half of the buns, then place them on top of the assembled burgers.
