$7 Burger Monday Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Patties

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

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

4. 4

   Prepare the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, slice the hamburger buns in half. If desired, toast the buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, and pickles. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then place the top bun on each burger.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of sides, and enjoy your $7 Burger Monday!
