Burger Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined, then form into four equal patties.

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

3. 3

   Add Cheese

   During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burgers

   Toast the burger buns if desired. On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and your choice of ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the burgers warm with additional ketchup and mustard on the side.
