Burger Patties

Burger Assembly

Method

Prepare the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to help them cook evenly.

Make Wag's Special Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the tomato sauce, dried herbs, minced garlic, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

  2. 4

    Let it Rest

    Allow the sauce to sit for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Cook the Burger Patties

  1. 5

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 7

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of provolone cheese on each patty and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 8

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 9

    Build the Burger

    Spread a generous amount of Wag's special sauce on the bottom bun, then place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top. Add sliced raw onions and finish with the top bun.
