Buns

Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

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

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the cheese is melted.

Toasting the Buns

  1. 5

    Butter the Buns

    Spread butter on the cut sides of the burger buns.

  2. 6

    Toast the Buns

    Place the buns butter-side down on the grill or skillet for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato. Then, add the cooked burger patty with melted cheddar cheese.

  2. 8

    Complete the Burger

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
