Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a round patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, you may add a little oil.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a crust forms, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until desired doneness is reached. If using cheese, add a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 5

    Slice the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, wash and prepare the toppings. Slice the tomato and onion into thin rounds. Rinse the lettuce leaves and pat dry.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, spread a layer of ketchup and mustard. Place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty, sliced tomato, and onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
