Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Add cheese slices on top of the patties during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Place the cooked patties on the bottom half of the toasted buns. Top with lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Place the top half of the buns on each burger.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately and enjoy your classic burger!
