Burger Patties

Toppings

Buns

Method

Prepare the 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 to avoid overworking the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

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

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burgers reach your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burgers

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

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

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer lettuce leaves, tomato slices (sliced the large tomato into thin rounds), pickles, and then the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add ketchup and mustard to taste.

  3. 7

    Finish and Serve

    Top with the other half of the bun, secure with a skewer if needed, and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
