Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Form the Patty

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined. Shape the mixture into a round patty about ¾ inch thick.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patty for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. If using cheese, place a slice on top of the patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assembling the Cheeseburger

  1. 3

    Prepare the Bun

    While the patty is cooking, slice the burger bun in half and toast it lightly on the grill or skillet until golden brown.

  2. 4

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of the toasted bun, place the lettuce leaf and tomato slice. Carefully place the cooked burger patty on top of the tomato.

  3. 5

    Add Pickles and Condiments

    Layer the pickle slices on top of the burger patty. Add ketchup and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the burger bun.
