Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground Angus beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until the seasonings are evenly distributed, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patty

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

Cook the Burger Patty

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patty

    Place the burger patty on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip the patty and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the desired doneness is reached and the cheese has melted.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Bun

    While the patty is cooking, slice the burger bun in half and toast it lightly if desired.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Once the patty is cooked, place it on the bottom half of the bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, onion slices, ketchup, and mustard. Cover with the top half of the bun.
