Burger Patties

Burger Assembly

Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Use your hands to mix until just combined; do not overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them over. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

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

  2. 6

    Layer Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, a cooked burger patty with melted cheese, pickles, ketchup, and mustard as desired.

  3. 7

    Finish Assembly

    Top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
