Burger Patty

Toppings

Special Sauce

Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into round patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Grill the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 5

    Prep the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, wash and dry the lettuce. Slice the tomato and onion into thin rounds.

Making the Special Sauce

  1. 6

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, and Worcestershire sauce until well blended.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 7

    Toast the Buns

    Optional: Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1 minute, cut side down.

  2. 8

    Build the Burger

    Spread a generous amount of special sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place the grilled patty on top, followed by lettuce, tomato, and onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
