Great Burgers Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined. Form into 4 large patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty.

2. 2

   Cook the Burgers

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached. Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese during the last minute of cooking to melt.

3. 3

   Assemble the Burgers

   Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster. Layer the lettuce, tomato, and pickles (if using) on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked patty on top, and add ketchup and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.
