Method

Burger Patty Preparation

Mix the Ingredients

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

Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

Cooking the Burger

Preheat the Grill or Skillet

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

Cook the Patties

Add the patties to the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

Add Cheese

In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty, cover with a lid or tent with aluminum foil to melt the cheese.

Burger Assembly

Toast the Buns

While the patties are cooking, cut the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

Assemble the Burger

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