Instructions
Prepare the Burger Patties:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make them slightly larger than your burger buns since they will shrink as they cook.
- Place a thumbprint indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking. This ensures even cooking.
Cook the Burger Patties:
- Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the burger patties on the hot grill or skillet.
- Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your burgers more well-done.
- During the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty and cover the pan or grill with a lid to melt the cheese.
Prepare the Burger Buns:
- While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are golden brown.
Assemble the Cheeseburgers:
- Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
- Add a burger patty with melted cheese on top of the lettuce.
- Top each patty with tomato slices and onion slices.
- If desired, add pickles for extra flavor.
- Spread tomato sauce/ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise on the top half of the buns, or use your preferred condiments.
Complete the Burgers:
- Place the top half of the bun with condiments on top of the assembled ingredients to create a burger.
Serve:
- Your delicious homemade cheeseburgers are now ready to serve. Enjoy them while they're hot!Feel free to customize your cheeseburgers with additional toppings like bacon, avocado, or sautéed mushrooms, and serve them with your favorite side dishes, such as french fries or coleslaw.
