Burger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Chill the Patties

    Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook 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.

Assembling the Cheeseburger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 7

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, add some lettuce, a cooked patty with melted cheese, slices of tomato, onion, pickles, and your desired amount of ketchup and mustard.

  3. 8

    Complete the Cheeseburger

    Top with the other half of the bun, press slightly, and serve immediately.
