Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

    Add Cheese

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

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Place the cooked patty on the bottom half of the bun, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
