Method

Preparation of Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until seasonings are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick, making an indentation in the center with your thumb to prevent puffing while cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 5

    Slice the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, wash and slice the tomato and onion into thin rings. Prepare the lettuce leaves and pickles.

Assembling the Burgers

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns (optional)

    If desired, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, onion rings, pickles, and condiments of choice (ketchup and mustard). Top with the other half of the bun.
