Burger Patty

Toppings

Bun

Method

Prepare the Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1 inch thick.

Cook the Patty

  1. 3

    Grill or Pan-Fry

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.

Prepare the Bun and Toppings

  1. 4

    Toast the Buns

    Spread butter on the cut sides of the burger buns. Place them on the grill or in a pan for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden and toasted.

  2. 5

    Prepare Toppings

    While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion, and wash the lettuce leaves.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 6

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked beef patty, cheese (if using), tomato slices, and onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
