Burger Patties

Burger Buns

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Season the Meat

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cook the Burger Patties

  1. 3

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Prepare the Burger Buns

  1. 4

    Toast the Buns

    Spread butter on the cut sides of each burger bun. Place them on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and slightly crispy.

Assemble the Burgers

  1. 5

    Build Your Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a grilled patty. Add lettuce, tomato slices, red onion rings, and pickles as desired. Top with ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise to taste. Cover with the top half of the bun.
