1/3 Lb Hamburger Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patty

   In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.

2. 2

   Form the Patty

   Shape the mixture into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.

3. 3

   Cook the Patty

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. If using cheese, add it on top during the last minute of cooking.

4. 4

   Toast the Bun

   While the patty is cooking, toast the burger bun on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   Place the cooked patty on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Add optional toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
