Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Patty Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and place the cheese on top. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly if desired.

  2. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a handful of lettuce, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add slices of tomato and onion on top.

  3. 7

    Add Condiments

    Finish with ketchup and mustard to taste before placing the top half of the bun.
