Country Fare Blue Ribbon Burger Recipe

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 just combined and form into 4 equal patties.

   Cook the Patties

   Heat 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.

   Add Cheese

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

4. 4

   Prepare the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in the skillet.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   On each bun, layer with a lettuce leaf, the cooked patty with melted cheese, sliced tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
