Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    In a large 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 four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Add cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

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