Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help it cook evenly.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty to melt.

Burger Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the hamburger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster if desired.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burger

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