Burger Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Meat Mixture

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

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making them slightly larger than the bread slices.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked to your desired doneness.

4. 4

   Toast the Bread

   While the patties are cooking, melt the butter in another skillet over medium heat. Toast the slices of white bread in the butter until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

5. 5

   Prepare the Toppings

   Slice the tomato into thin rounds and wash the lettuce leaves. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to let it melt.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burger

   On one slice of toasted bread, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a cooked patty (with cheese if using), tomato slices, ketchup, and mustard. Top with another slice of toasted bread.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
