Beef Patty

Toppings

Bun

Method

Prepare the Beef Patty

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, slightly larger than the burger buns, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty.

Cook the Beef Patty

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat a 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 each side for medium doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assemble the Cheeseburger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Bun

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in the skillet until lightly browned.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked beef patty with melted cheese, slices of tomato, and thinly sliced red onion. Add ketchup and mustard to taste.

  3. 7

    Finish Assembly

    Top with the other half of the bun and press down gently to secure the toppings.
