Condiments

Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until well combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    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 place a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Prepare the Buns

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, melt the butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Cut the hamburger buns in half and toast them in the skillet until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Assemble the Burgers

  1. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer lettuce, a cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, red onion, and pickles.

  2. 7

    Add Condiments

    Spread ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise on the top half of the buns to your taste. Close the burgers with the top halves of the buns.
