Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined, then divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Prepare the Buns

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

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, pickles, and your choice of ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
