Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. You can lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Bun

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

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf followed by the cooked patty. Add a slice of tomato, pickles, and your desired amount of ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Burger

    Serve the burgers immediately while hot with your favorite side dishes like fries or a salad.
