Burger Patty

Toppings

Bun

Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until the spices are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

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

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

Assemble the Cheeseburger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Bun

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

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a leaf of lettuce, followed by a slice of tomato, pickles, and the cooked cheeseburger patty. Add ketchup and mustard to taste.

  3. 7

    Finish Assembly

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately with your favorite side.
