Burger Patties

Cheeseburger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well using your hands until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them over.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach desired doneness.

Assembling the Cheeseburgers

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

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

  2. 7

    Build the Cheeseburger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, a cooked patty with melted cheese, slices of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.
