Burger Patty

Toppings

Bun

Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill/Pan

    Preheat your grill or stovetop 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 the patties.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    After flipping the patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    If desired, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer the lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve Immediately

    Serve the burgers immediately while hot, with your choice of side dishes.
