Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently until seasoned.

  2. 2

    Form the Patty

    Shape the seasoned ground beef into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patty

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patty for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

Toppings Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the lettuce leaves and slice the tomato into thick slices.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of the burger bun, place the lettuce leaf, then the cooked beef patty, followed by the tomato slice and cheese (if using).

House Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until well blended.

  2. 7

    Finish the Burger

    Spread the house sauce generously on the top half of the burger bun, then place it on top of the assembled burger.
