Burger Patties

Toppings

Bun

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Use your hands to mix until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat 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. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned, then flip them. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

    If desired, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.

  2. 6

    Build the Burger

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