Burger Patties

Cheese

Burger Toppings

Burger Buns

Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    After flipping, place a slice of cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.

Prepare the Burger

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, you can toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add the cooked patty with melted cheese, followed by sliced tomato, onion, pickles, and your desired condiments (ketchup and mustard).

  3. 8

    Top and Serve

    Place the top half of the bun over the assembled burger. Serve immediately while hot.
