Burger Patty
Toppings
Method
Preparing the Beef Patty
Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the patties tender.
Form Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
Assembling the Burger
Prepare the Bun
While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half. If desired, toast the buns in a separate skillet until golden.
Add Toppings
On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked beef patty. Slice the tomato and place a slice on top of each patty. Finally, drizzle house sauce over the tomato.
Complete the Burger
Place the top half of the bun over the toppings. Press down gently and serve immediately.
