Burger Patties

Burger Assembly

Method

Prepare the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. You can lightly grease the skillet or grill grates with cooking spray or oil if desired.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assemble the Burgers

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in the skillet until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

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