Burger Ingredients

1 tsp Kosher salt

1 tsp Onion powder

Method

Burger Preparation

Prepare the Beef

In a large bowl, combine ground Certified Angus beef with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined.

Form the Patties

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions (about 0.5 pounds each) and shape them into burger patties, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop, heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the Burgers

Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium doneness. Add cheese slices on top in the last minute of cooking if desired.

Assemble the Burgers

Toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet for a minute. Place the cooked patties on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard as desired. Add the top half of the bun.

Serve

Serve the burgers hot with your choice of sides and enjoy!
