Pound Burger Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined, then divide the mixture into two equal portions and form them into patties.

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

3. 3

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, you can toast the burger buns on the grill or in the skillet until golden brown.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with sliced tomatoes, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Cap with the top half of the bun.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
