Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Shape Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties that are slightly larger than the burger buns.

Cook the Burger

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. In the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Prepare Toppings

  1. 5

    Slice Ingredients

    While the patties are cooking, slice the avocado and tomato. Set aside the lettuce leaves.

  2. 6

    Cook Bacon

    In a separate pan, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 7

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Spread Condiments

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Then add ketchup and mustard to taste.

  3. 9

    Add Meat and Toppings

    Place the cooked burger patty on the bottom bun, followed by lettuce leaves, avocado slices, tomato slices, and crispy bacon.

  4. 10

    Finish and Serve

    Top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately and enjoy your West Coast Burger!
