Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined and form into 4 equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties, place a slice of Sharp Cheddar cheese on each patty, and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the patties are cooking, thinly slice the red onion and tomato.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster. On the bottom half of each bun, place a leaf of lettuce, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a few slices of red onion, and a generous drizzle of creamy steak sauce. Top with a slice of tomato and the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Alumni burger!
