Burger Patties

Burger Assembly

Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and add a slice of cheddar cheese to each. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

Assemble the Burgers

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

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

  2. 6

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a cooked patty with cheese, a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

Serve

  1. 7

    Enjoy Your Burger

    Serve the classic burger immediately while hot. Optionally, serve with fries or a side salad.
