Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and form them into patties, slightly larger than the burger buns, as they will shrink while cooking.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese

    Place a slice of American cheese on each patty after flipping. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.

Burger Assembly

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the burgers are cooking, spread butter on the cut sides of the burger buns. Toast them on a separate skillet or grill until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Cheeseburgers

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, a cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato (sliced), pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve your Jr. Cheeseburger in Paradise immediately, with additional condiments on the side if desired.
