Toppings

Buns

Method

Preparing Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.

  3. 3

    Chill Patties

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

Cooking the Patties

  1. 4

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Cook 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. 6

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the grill to melt the cheese.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 7

    Prepare Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster if desired.

  2. 8

    Layer Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place lettuce, a cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard.

  3. 9

    Complete Burger

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
