Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese (Optional)

    If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover until melted.

  5. 5

    Toast the Buns

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

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

    Place a cooked patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, ketchup, mustard, and pickles as desired. Place the top half of the bun on top.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
