Burger Patty

Toppings

Burger Assembly

Method

Prepare Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Press a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

Cook Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  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 another 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

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

Prepare Toppings

  1. 6

    Slice Tomato

    While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato into thin rounds.

  2. 7

    Wash Lettuce

    Rinse the lettuce leaves under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.

  3. 8

    Prepare Pickles

    If using whole pickles, slice them into thin rounds.

Assemble Burgers

  1. 9

    Toast Buns (Optional)

    If desired, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly browned.

  2. 10

    Layer Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, add lettuce, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard.

  3. 11

    Finish Assembly

    Place the top half of the bun on each assembled burger and serve immediately.
