Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾ inch thick.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Heat Grill or Skillet

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet.

  2. 4

    Cook 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 each one. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 5

    Slice Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.

  2. 6

    Prepare Pickles

    If using whole pickles, slice them into rounds or spears as desired.

Assembling the Burgers

  1. 7

    Toast Buns (Optional)

    If desired, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Layer the Ingredients

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