Burger Patties

Burger Assembly

Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well incorporated but do not overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form each portion into a round patty, approximately ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burgers

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, you can toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster for extra flavor.

  2. 6

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese. Add a slice of tomato and some onion rings on top. Finish with your choice of ketchup and mustard, then place the top half of the bun on each burger.
