Burger Patties

Cheese

Bun and Toppings

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ground Beef

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

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your 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 and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of your choice of cheese on top of each patty and cover to melt the cheese.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Burger Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and lightly toast them if desired.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a leaf of lettuce. Slice the tomato and add a slice on top of the lettuce.

  3. 8

    Assemble the Burger

    Once the patties are cooked and cheese is melted, place one patty on top of the tomato. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.
