Great Burgers Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined. Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties.

2. 2

   Cook the Burgers

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

3. 3

   Toast the Buns

   While the burgers are cooking, split the burger buns and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burgers

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, slices of tomato, and any desired condiments such as ketchup, mustard, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the burgers immediately and enjoy!
