Burger Patties

1 pound Ground beef

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp Watkins garlic powder

Burger Assembly

2 units Burger buns

2 slices Cheddar cheese slices

2 leaves Lettuce leaves

2 slices Tomato slices

4 slices Pickles

Special Sauce

2 tbs Mayonnaise

1 tbs Ketchup

Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

Mixing Ingredients

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

Forming Patties

Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

Cooking Patties

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until desired doneness is reached.

Adding Cheese

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

Making the Special Sauce

Mixing Sauce Ingredients

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, honey, and garlic powder. Stir until well mixed.

Assembling the Burger

Preparing the Buns

Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Layering the Ingredients

Spread the special sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and the cooked burger patty with melted cheese.

Completing the Burger

Top with the other half of the bun to complete the burger.
