Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover the grill or skillet to help melt the cheese.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Big Fred Pounder with your choice of buns and toppings!
