Great Burgers Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

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

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties, making them slightly larger than the burger buns.

3. 3

   Grill the Patties

   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.

4. 4

   Add the Cheese

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

5. 5

   Prepare the Buns

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

6. 6

   Assemble the Burgers

   Layer the lettuce, tomato (sliced), pickles, and the cooked patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of each bun. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then place the top half of the bun.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
