Burger Patties

Toppings

Buns

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently using your hands until just combined without overworking the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Heat 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 about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patty reaches your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the hamburger buns in half. You may toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burger

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