Method

Preparing the Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Use your hands to mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

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

Cooking the Patty

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

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

  2. 7

    Add Lettuce and Tomato

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a leaf of lettuce and a slice of tomato.

  3. 8

    Place the Patty

    Once the patties are cooked and cheese is melted, place each patty on top of the lettuce and tomato.

  4. 9

    Add Condiments

    If desired, add ketchup and mustard on top of the patty.

  5. 10

    Top with Bun

    Cover with the top half of the bun and press down gently.
