Toppings

Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Heat Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or pan. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on one side, until browned.

  3. 5

    Flip and Add Cheese

    Flip the patties and cook for another 2-3 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty to melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Bun

    While the patties are cooking, slice the hamburger bun in half and toast it lightly if desired.

  2. 7

    Layer Ingredients

    On the bottom half of the bun, place the cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard.
