Great Burgers Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger 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. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to let it melt.

3. 3

   Assemble the Burgers

   Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster. On each bun bottom, layer a lettuce leaf, then the cooked patty with melted cheese, followed by tomato slices, pickles, and your choice of ketchup and mustard. Top with the bun lid.

4. 4

   Serve

   Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
