Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Beef

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

2

Form Patties

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, approximately 3/4 inch thick.

3

Preheat Grill or Pan

Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little oil to prevent sticking.

Cooking

4

Cook the Patties

Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice brown crust forms. Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

5

Melt the Cheese

In the last minute of cooking, place cheddar cheese slices on top of the patties and cover with a lid to help melt the cheese.

Assembly

6

Prepare the Buns

While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

7

Assemble the Burgers

Place each patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Place the top half of the bun over the toppings.

Serving

8

Serve

Serve the burgers immediately while hot with extra toppings available on the side.
