Burger Patties

Burger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.

  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 help them cook evenly.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the surface if necessary to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add the Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover with a lid if using a skillet to help melt the cheese.

Assembling the Burgers

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

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

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add a slice of tomato and drizzle with ketchup and mustard to taste.

  3. 8

    Complete the Burger

    Place the top half of the bun on each assembled burger. Serve immediately with your child's favorite side.
