Method
Burger Patty Preparation
Prepare the Beef Patty
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined.
Form the Patties
Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
Cranberry Sauce Preparation
Cook the Sauce
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
Cool the Sauce
Remove from heat and let the cranberry sauce cool slightly before using.
Assembling the Burger
Prepare the Buns
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, then the cooked beef patty, followed by a generous spoonful of cranberry sauce. Add cheese, sliced tomato, and a dollop of mayonnaise if desired.
Serve
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately while hot.
