Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.

Cooking the Burgers

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the meat reaches your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

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

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with lettuce, sliced tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Cover with the top half of the bun.
