Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

Mix Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.

Form Patties

Divide the mixture into two equal parts and form each into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.

Cook Patties

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assembling the Burger

Toast the Buns

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Layer the Ingredients

On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a leaf of lettuce, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, pickle slices, ketchup, and mustard.

Complete the Burger

Top with the other half of the bun. Serve the burgers hot with your choice of sides.
