Burger Patties

Buns and Toppings

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mixing Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Forming Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cooking the Patties

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

  3. 5

    Adding 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 reach your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Preparing the Bun

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster if desired.

  2. 7

    Building the Burger

    On the bottom bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by one cooked patty, sliced tomato, pickles, and your choice of ketchup and mustard. Add the second patty on top, then finish with another lettuce leaf and the top bun.
