Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined. Form the mixture into two patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite side dishes.
