Burger Patties

Cheeseburger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that is about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Assembling the Cheeseburger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

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

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a leaf of lettuce, followed by the cheeseburger patty. Top with slices of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard, then cover with the top half of the bun.
