House – Made Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Patty Mixture

   In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined.

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about ¾ inch thick.

3. 3

   Preheat the Grill or Skillet

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

4. 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.

5. 5

   Prepare the Buns

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

6. 6

   Assemble the Burgers

   On each bun bottom, place a piece of lettuce, followed by the cooked patty, a slice of tomato, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the bun lid.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
