Burgers

1 pound Ground beef

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp Watkins garlic powder

1 tsp Onion powder

4 pieces Burger buns

4 leaves Lettuce

1 medium Tomato

4 slices Cheese slices

to taste Ketchup

to taste Pickles

Method

Preparation

Prepare the Patties

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cook the Patties

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Add cheese slices on top during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assemble the Burgers

Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked patty, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

Serve

Serve the burgers warm with your favorite sides.
