Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until the seasonings are evenly incorporated into the meat.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, approximately 1/2 inch thick.

Cooking the Burger Patty

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat a grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned and then flip.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked through.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half. You can also toast them lightly if desired.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Then add the cooked patty with melted cheese, followed by a slice of tomato.

  3. 8

    Add Condiments

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the top half of the buns. Place the top bun over the assembled burger.
