Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparing the Burgers

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until well combined, but do not overwork the meat. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

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

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid to help melt the cheese.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Making the Gravy

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

    In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Make the Roux

    Add the all-purpose flour to the melted butter, whisking continuously for about 1 minute until it forms a smooth paste.

  3. 7

    Add Broth

    Slowly pour in the beef broth while continuing to whisk to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 8

    Season the Gravy

    Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens.

Assemble the Burgers

  1. 9

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cheeseburger patty. Top with pickles and tomato slices if desired.

  2. 10

    Add Gravy

    Generously ladle the hot gravy over the cheeseburger.

  3. 11

    Serve

    Place the top half of the bun on the burger and serve immediately with your choice of side.
