Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until well combined, but do not overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into mini patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Place each patty on a mini burger bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slice, ketchup, and mustard. Close the bun and set aside.

Fries or Fruit Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Fries

    If using frozen French fries, bake according to package instructions until golden and crispy.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Fruit

    If serving fruit, wash and slice the fruit into manageable pieces (e.g., apple slices or wash grapes).
