Burger Patties

Toppings

Buns

Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Use your hands to gently mix until just combined; do not overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the hamburger buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 6

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer the lettuce, followed by the cooked patty, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

Serve

  1. 7

    Enjoy Your Hamburger

    Serve the burgers immediately while hot with your favorite sides.
