Hamburger Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Patty

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

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that is slightly larger than the burger buns.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

   In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   While the cheese is melting, cut the burger buns in half and toast them on the grill or skillet until golden brown.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each bun, place the lettuce, cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the burgers hot with your favorite sides.
