Patty Ingredients

Toppings and Buns

Method

Prepare the Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all seasonings are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indent in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

Cook the Patty

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, lightly grease it with cooking spray or a bit of oil.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned, then flip the patties.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.

Prepare the Buns and Assemble

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

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

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    Once the patties are done, place each patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slice, and condiments like ketchup and mustard. Place the top half of the bun over the toppings.
