The Pantry Burger Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patty

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

2. 2

   Shape the Patty

   Form the mixture into a 1/2 lb patty, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

3. 3

   Cook the Patty

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Add the cheese slice during the last minute of cooking to melt.

4. 4

   Toast the Bun

   While the patty is cooking, toast the burger bun on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of the toasted bun, place the lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
