Burger Recipe

Combine the Meats

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Use your hands to gently mix until the meats are just combined.

Add Seasonings

Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture. Mix gently until the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Form Patties

Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indent in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

Preheat Grill or Skillet

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

Cook the Patties

Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.

Melt the Cheese

In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover with a lid to help melt the cheese.

Prepare the Buns

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

Layer the Ingredients

On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard to taste.

Finish Assembly

Top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
