Burger Patties

Cheeseburger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Make the Patty Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about 3/4 inch thick.

Cooking the Burgers

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

  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 cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cover the grill or skillet to melt the cheese.

Assembling the Cheeseburgers

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with sliced tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Finally, place the top half of the bun on each burger.
