Alejandro’s Favorite Burger Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined. Divide the mixture into two equal parts and shape them into burger patties.

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burger

   Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, the cooked patty with melted cheddar, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve hot with your favorite sides.
