Burger Patty

Burger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Cooking the Patty

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill or pan to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

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

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a layer of lettuce, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard.

  3. 8

    Finish Assembling

    Place the top half of the bun on each burger. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
