Burger Patty

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Patty

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well and form into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 3

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet until golden brown.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty, cheddar cheese (let it melt slightly), bacon, tomato slices, pickles, and onion. Drizzle BBQ sauce on top and finish with the top bun.
