Burger Patties

Cheeseburgers

Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Season the Meat

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until the spices are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the seasoned beef into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cooking the Cheeseburgers

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

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

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the burger patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip them over.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Assembling the Mini Cheeseburgers

  1. 6

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the patties are cooking, wash the lettuce leaves and slice the tomato into thin rounds.

  2. 7

    Build the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each mini burger bun, place one cooked cheeseburger patty. Top with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and your choice of ketchup and mustard. Cover with the top half of the bun.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the Burgers

    Arrange the mini cheeseburgers on a platter and serve immediately while hot.
