Burger Patties

Burger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a heavy skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

  2. 6

    Build the Burger

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