Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined, then divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

  2. 2

    Grill the Burgers

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

    While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
