Burger Patties

Burger Toppings

Burger Buns

Method

Prepare Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Press a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

  3. 3

    Chill Patties

    Place the formed patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cooking to help them hold their shape.

Cook Burgers

  1. 4

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).

  2. 5

    Cook Patties

    Place the chilled patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each. Grill for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese melts and the burgers reach your desired doneness.

Assemble Burgers

  1. 6

    Prepare Buns

    While the burgers are cooking, cut the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden.

  2. 7

    Layer Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer lettuce, a cooked burger patty with melted cheese, sliced tomato, onion, pickles, and drizzle barbecue sauce on top. Place the top half of the bun to complete the burger.
