Burger Patty

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty approximately 3/4 inch thick.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook Patties

    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.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    If using cheese, place a slice on each patty in the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare Toppings

    While the burgers are cooking, wash and prepare the lettuce, slice the tomato, and slice the onion.

  2. 7

    Build the Burger

    Toast the burger buns lightly, if desired. On the bottom half of each bun, place a patty, then layer with lettuce, tomato, and onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
