Burger Patties

Burger Toppings

Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cooking the Burgers

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Assembling the Burgers

  1. 6

    Prepare Toppings

    Slice the tomato and set aside. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.

  2. 7

    Toast Buns

    If desired, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  3. 8

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, a cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, pickles, and condiments such as ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
