Classic Beef Burger

1Preparing the Patty In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef (1 lb), chopped onion (½), bread crumbs (¼ cup), egg (1), garlic powder (½ tsp), salt (½ tsp), and black pepper (¼ tsp). Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

2Shaping the Patties Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, approximately 1-inch thick.

3Cooking the Patties Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Add a slice of cheddar cheese (4) on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

4Assembling the Burger Toast the burger buns (4). Spread the special sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato (1) slices, onion (½) slices, and a cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with the optional toppings and condiments if desired. Cover with the top half of the bun.
