Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    Flip the patties and place 2 slices of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Buns

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

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf on each bun, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, with your favorite side dishes.
