Burger Patty

1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp Watkins garlic powder

Toppings

2 slices Cheese slices (your choice: cheddar, American, Swiss, etc.)

1 cup Lettuce leaves

1 medium Tomato, sliced

1 cup Pickles, sliced

1 medium Onion, sliced

2 tbs Ketchup

2 tbs Mustard

2 tbs Mayonnaise

Bun

2 pieces Burger buns

Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

Mix the Beef

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.

Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into two equal portions (about 8 oz each). Shape each portion into a round patty that's slightly larger than the burger buns, as it will shrink while cooking. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up during cooking.

Cook the Burger

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure it's hot before adding the patties.

Cook the Patties

Place the burger patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned and a crust forms.

Flip and Add Cheese

Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you desire a more well-done burger. Add cheese slices on top of the patties during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assemble the Burger

Toast the Buns

While the patties are cooking, you can toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly browned.

Build the Burger

On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, pickles, onion slices, and your choice of condiments (ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise). Top with the other half of the bun.
