Burger Patty
Toppings
Method
Preparing the Patty
Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Form the Patties
Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into round patties, about 1 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
Cooking the Burger
Add Cheese
After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired level of doneness.
Assembling the Burger
Prepare the Buns
While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly if desired.
Add Toppings
On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese. Slice the tomato and place on top of the cheese. Finally, cap with the top half of the bun.
