Burger Patties

Burger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cooking the Burgers

  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 burger patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them over. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
