Burger Patty

Toppings

Bun

Method

Prepare the Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them over.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patty reaches your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

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

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add sliced tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard as desired.

  3. 8

    Complete the Burger

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