Method

Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Beef Patties

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.

Form the Patties

Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cook the Burgers

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking.

Assemble the Burgers

Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden. Place the cooked patties on the bottom half of each bun, followed by lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

Serve

Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of side dishes.
