Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick.

Cooking the Burger Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill or Skillet

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

  2. 4

    Cook Patties

    Place the patties on the hot grill or skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties.

  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 burger buns in half and lightly toast them if desired.

  2. 7

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, a cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, onion slices, and pickles.

  3. 8
