Great Burgers Recipe

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.
