Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

1

Mix the Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.

2

Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

3

Cook the Patties

Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

4

Prepare the Buns

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

5

Add Cheese

Once the patties are nearly done cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

6

Build the Burger

On the bottom half of each bun, place a leaf of lettuce followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.

7

Serve

Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of side dishes.
