Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic 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 round patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

Cook the Burger

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

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

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

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

Assemble the Burger

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
