Kid Cheeseburger Recipe

Mix the Ingredients

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.

Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.

Cook the Patties

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

Add Cheese

Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Prepare the Buns

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

Assemble the Burgers

On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add a slice of tomato, and then drizzle with ketchup and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.
