Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined, but do not overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Chill Patties

    Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while cooking.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 4

    Preheat Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Cook Patties

    Once hot, place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip.

  3. 6

    Add Cheese

    After flipping the patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 7

    Prepare Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half. Optionally, toast them on the grill or skillet for extra flavor.

  2. 8

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, and a slice of tomato.

  3. 9

    Add Condiments

    Top with ketchup and mustard to taste, then place the top half of the bun to finish assembling the burger.
