Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined, then form into 4 equal-sized patties, about ¾ inch thick.

  2. 2

    Grill the Burgers

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty to melt.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

    While the burgers are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese. Top with a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Cover with the top half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a salad.
