Burger Ingredients

1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp Watkins garlic powder

1 tsp Onion powder

2 slices Cheddar cheese

2 units Burger buns

Toppings

2 units Lettuce leaves

1 slices Tomato

4 slices Pickles

1 tbs Ketchup

1 tbs Mustard

1 tbs Mayonnaise

Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

Mix the Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined; do not overwork the meat.

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.

Chill the Patties

Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking.

Cooking the Burgers

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

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 add a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

Prepare the Buns

Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Build the Burger

Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of the bun. Place the cooked patty on top, followed by lettuce, tomato slice, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
