Burger Patties

Toppings

Buns

Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patty reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Assemble the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare Buns

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

  2. 7

    Layer Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add slices of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard as desired.

  3. 8

    Finish the Burger

    Top with the other half of the bun and gently press down. Repeat for the remaining burgers.
