Ingredients
  

Burger Patties
  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20 blend for best flavor
  • 1 tsp salt to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
Toppings
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese or cheese of choice
  • 4 buns burger buns toasted
  • 1 cup lettuce shredded
  • 1 tomato sliced
  • 1/2 cup pickles sliced
  • 1/4 cup ketchup to taste
  • 1/4 cup mustard to taste

Method
 

Prepare the Patties
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Grill the Burgers
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
  3. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheese on each. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Assemble the Burgers
  1. Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1 minute.
  2. On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the grilled patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard.
  3. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
