Burger Ingredients

Method

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 well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Place the lettuce, a burger patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and pickles on top. Cap with the top half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
