Cooking

Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Season the Meat

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the seasoned meat into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making them slightly larger than the size of the buns.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter and let it melt until it begins to bubble.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the burger patties in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    Flip the patties and place a slice of Swiss 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.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Toast the Bread

    In the same skillet, add the slices of sourdough bread and toast them for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Build the Burger

    Spread Dijon mustard on one slice of toasted sourdough, then add the lettuce, the burger patty with melted cheese, pickles, and a slice of tomato. Top with the other slice of sourdough.
