Burger Patty

Toppings

Buns

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patty

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.

  3. 3

    Prepare Toppings

    Slice the tomato and red onion. Wash the lettuce leaves and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

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

  2. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, red onion rings, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
