Burger Patties

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each part into a patty approximately 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Chill the Patties

    Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Cooking the Burgers

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

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

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burgers

  1. 5

    Build the Burger

    Toast the burger buns if desired. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, bacon strips, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
