Burger Patties

Buns and Toppings

Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Use your hands to mix gently until the spices are fully incorporated into the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making them slightly larger than the burger buns, as they will shrink while cooking.

Cook the Burgers

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover with a lid to help the cheese melt.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, you can toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf followed by a cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and onion slices. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then place the top half of the bun on.
