Burger Patties

Toppings

Buns

Method

Prepare the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them over.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    After flipping the patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Assemble the Cheeseburgers

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns (Optional)

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

  2. 7

    Layer Ingredients

    Place the cooked patties with melted cheese on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, sliced tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard to taste.

  3. 8

    Complete the Burger

    Cover with the top half of the bun and press down gently. Your cheeseburger is ready to serve.
