Burger Patties

Bun and Toppings

Method

Prepare the Burger Patties

  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 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

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

Prepare the Buns and Toppings

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    If desired, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.

  2. 7

    Slice the Vegetables

    Slice the tomato and onion into thin rounds.

Assemble the Cheeseburgers

  1. 8

    Build the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, slices of tomato, and onion. Add ketchup and mustard to taste.

  2. 9

    Top and Serve

    Place the top half of the bun on the assembled burger and serve immediately.
