Burger Patties

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the patties tender.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Once hot, place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip them and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, adding a slice of cheddar cheese on top during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half. Toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster if desired.

  2. 6

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add a slice of tomato, pickles, and any condiments like ketchup and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.
