Method

Bun Preparation

  1. 1

    Toast the Buns

    Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the hamburger buns cut side down in the skillet, and toast for about 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Patty Preparation

  1. 2

    Form the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick.

  2. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill/skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer a piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato (sliced), a cooked patty with melted cheese, and a handful of pickles. Add ketchup and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.
