Burgers Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Burger Patties

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined, then divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties.

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

3. 3

   Add Cheese

   During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns and lightly toast them on the grill or in a toaster.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
