Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and place a cheese slice on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of fries on the side.
