Burger Patties

Toppings

Method

Preparation of Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Use your hands to mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing as it can make the patties tough.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, approximately ¾ inch thick.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill or Skillet

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

  2. 4

    Cook Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt the cheese.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half. Optionally, toast them on the grill or in the skillet until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Layer Ingredients

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Place a burger patty with melted cheese on top, followed by a handful of mixed greens and slices of tomato.

  3. 8

    Finish and Serve

    Place the top half of the bun on each burger. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
