    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped black olives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Combine Meat Mixture

    Using your hands, mix the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat.

    Shape Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about ¾ inch thick.

  4. 4

    Oil the Patties

    Drizzle olive oil on both sides of the patties to prevent sticking while cooking.

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.

  3. 7

    Melt Cheese

    If desired, add cheese on top of the patties in the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 8
