Method

Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

Cooking the Patty

  1. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

  2. 4

    Flip and Add Cheese

    Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet or grill to melt the cheese.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns and Toppings

    While the burgers are cooking, you can prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly on the grill or in a toaster. Slice the tomato and wash the lettuce leaf.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Place a cooked patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slice, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Place the top half of the bun on the burger.
