Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

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

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the burgers with your favorite side, such as fries or a salad, and enjoy!
