Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ground Beef

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

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

    Preheat Grill or Pan

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese

    After flipping, place a slice of your chosen cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.
