Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Shape Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that is about 1/2 inch thick.

Cook the Burger

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill or Skillet

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook Patties

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

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

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

Assemble the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare Toppings

    While the patties are cooking, wash the lettuce and slice the tomato and onion.

  2. 7

    Construct the Burger

    To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of the toasted burger bun, add the cooked patty with melted cheese, followed by slices of tomato and onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
