Burger Patty

Buns and Toppings

Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mixing Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.

  2. 2

    Shaping the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center to help them cook evenly.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Preheating the Grill or Pan

    Preheat a grill or frying pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cooking the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

  3. 5

    Adding Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and close the lid (if using a grill) to melt the cheese.

Assembling the Cheeseburger

  1. 6

    Preparing the Buns

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

  2. 7

    Adding Toppings

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add tomato slices, onion slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard as desired. Top with the other half of the bun.
