Cheese Burger* (patty & Cheese) Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patty

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

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

   Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty after flipping. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patty is cooked to your desired doneness.

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, cut the burger buns in half and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of the toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
