Great Burgers Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

2. 2

   Preheat the Grill

   Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Ensure it is well-oiled to prevent sticking.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers reach your desired doneness.

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

   While the burgers are cooking, place the burger buns cut-side down on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, some pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the burgers immediately while hot, along with your favorite sides.
