Burger Patty

Burger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patty

    Shape the mixture into a patty about ¾ inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

Cooking the Burger Patty

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patty

    Place the patty on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patty and place the slice of cheddar cheese on top. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Bun

    While the patty is cooking, slice the hamburger bun in half and toast it lightly on the grill or in a toaster if desired.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of the bun, layer the lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve the single cheeseburger immediately while hot, accompanied by fries or your favorite side.
