Classic Tavern Angus Burger Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Patties

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

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Divide the mixture into four 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 puffing during cooking.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
