Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently and form into two equal patties.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C).

  3. 3

    Grill the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium doneness. If using cheese, add a slice on top of each patty in the last minute of cooking.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are grilling, place the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until toasted.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Place each patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard, and the top half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the hamburgers immediately while hot with your favorite sides.
