Burger Patties

Burger Assembly

Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, making them slightly larger than the burger buns.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 5

    Build the Burger

    To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, add the cooked patty with melted cheese, followed by tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
