Burger Patty

Burger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Step 1: Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Step 2: Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Step 3: Grill or Pan-Fry

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

Assembling the Burger

  1. 4

    Step 4: Toast Buns

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Step 5: Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, sliced tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
