Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Use your hands to mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

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

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

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

Burger Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

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

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cheeseburger patty. Add a slice of fresh tomato, and top with ketchup and mustard to taste. Place the top half of the bun on top.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
