Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

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

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

Cooking the Burger

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

    Melt the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

Assembling the Burger

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion into thin rings.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burger
