Burger Patty

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Beef

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indent in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip them and cook for an additional 4 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill for about 1-2 minutes.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Spread BBQ sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf, then the cheeseburger patty, followed by onion rings and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
