Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty Mixture

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

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4-inch thick.

  3. 3

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
