Burger Patties

Burger Assembly

Method

Prepare the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of black pepper, 1 tsp of garlic powder, and 1 tsp of onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape them into round patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a 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. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

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