Method

Preparing Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Shape Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.

Grilling Onions

  1. 3

    Slice Onions

    Peel and slice the large onions into 1/4-inch thick rings.

  2. 4

    Grill Onions

    In a medium bowl, toss the onion rings with olive oil and salt. Preheat a grill over medium heat and grill the onions for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized.

Grilling Burger Patties

  1. 5

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat.

  2. 6

    Cook Patties

    Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and add a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

Assembling the Burger

  1. 7

    Toast Buns (Optional)

    If desired, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Assemble

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the grilled burger patty with melted cheese, grilled onions, a slice of tomato, and your desired amounts of ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
