Method

Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill or Skillet

    Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook Patties

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

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.

Burger Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare Buns and Toppings

    While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and prepare the lettuce and pickles.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, add a lettuce leaf, a cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
