Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato and onion into thin rounds.

    Toast the Buns (Optional)

    If desired, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked beef patty. Top with tomato slices, onion rings, ketchup, and mustard. Cover with the top half of the bun.

    Serve the burgers immediately while hot with your favorite side dishes.
