Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mixing the Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Forming the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making them slightly larger than the buns to account for shrinkage while cooking.

Cooking the Burgers

  1. 3

    Grilling the Patties

    Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

  2. 4

    Flipping and Adding Cheese

    Flip the patties and immediately place two slices of cheddar cheese on each patty. Grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.

Assembling the Cheeseburgers

  1. 5

    Toasting the Buns

    While the burgers are finishing, spread butter on the cut sides of the burger buns. Place them on the grill, cut side down, and toast until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

  2. 6

    Building the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the grilled cheeseburger patty, sliced tomato, pickles, and your desired ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
