Buns

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large 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 meat mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.

Assembling the Cheeseburger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, wash and prepare the lettuce, slice the tomato and onion, and set aside the pickles.

  2. 6

    Toast the Buns

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

  3. 7

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, and pickles. Place a cooked patty on top, and then add ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.
