Burger Patty

Toppings

Assembly

Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until the ingredients are evenly distributed, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a round patty about ¾ inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill or pan to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until they reach your desired doneness (160°F for medium).

Prepare the Toppings

  1. 5

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, rinse and dry the lettuce leaves. Tear them into bite-sized pieces. Slice the tomato into thick rounds.

  2. 6

    Prepare the House Sauce

    In a small bowl, prepare your house sauce (this could be a mix of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, or any special blend you prefer).

Assemble the Burger

  1. 7

    Toast the Buns

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

  2. 8

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer the lettuce, followed by the cooked beef patty, tomato slice, and a generous dollop of house sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
