Method
Preparing the Patty
- 1
Prepare the Beef Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well using your hands or a spoon until all the spices are evenly incorporated.

Form the Patties
Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, making them slightly larger than the burger buns since they will shrink while cooking.

Cook the Patties
Place the patties on the hot grill or skillet. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F / 70°C). If desired, add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
