Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined. Form into two equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, adding a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or skillet. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, add the cooked patty with melted cheese, followed by tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut the burger in half if desired and serve with your favorite side dishes.
