Ingredients for Kids Hamburger

Method

Preparation Steps for Kids Hamburger

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well using your hands until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cover to melt the cheese.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Hamburgers

    Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cheeseburger patty, tomato slice, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve and Enjoy

    Serve the kids hamburgers warm with extra ketchup and mustard on the side, if desired.
