Method

Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    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

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, approximately 3/4 inch thick.

Cooking the Patty

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium rare, or until desired doneness is achieved.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, cut the burger buns in half. Optionally, toast them on the grill or in a toaster for a crispier texture.

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf followed by a cooked patty with melted cheese. Add slices of tomato and pickles. Top with ketchup and mustard to taste.

  3. 8

    Complete the Burger

    Place the top half of the bun on the assembled ingredients to complete the burger.
