Burger Patties

Burger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Use your hands to mix until well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

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

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill/Pan

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook Patties

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

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

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

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the hamburger buns in half and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, pickles, and your choice of ketchup and mustard.

  3. 8

    Finish the Burger

    Top with the other half of the bun and press down gently. Your cheeseburger is ready to serve.
