Method

Burgers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burgers

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns if desired. On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
