Method

Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined; do not overwork the meat.

  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 patty to prevent bulging while cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

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

Burger Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly if desired.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add slices of tomato and condiments (ketchup and mustard) to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.
