Back Yard Burgers Recipe

Directions to Prepare Back Yard Burgers

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.

2. 2

   Grill the Patties

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

3. 3

   Toast the Buns

   During the last minute of grilling, place the burger buns cut-side down on the grill to toast lightly.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burgers

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

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of side.
