Method

Patty

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired temperature.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

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

Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

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

  2. 6

    Assemble the Cheeseburger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cheeseburger patty. Top with sliced tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Finally, place the top half of the bun on the assembled burger.
