Method

Preparing the Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a round patty, about 3/4 inch thick.

Cooking the Patty

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the meat is cooked to your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burger

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