Burger Patties

Buns

Method

Prepare the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center to help them cook evenly.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until they reach your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 5

    Add BBQ Sauce

    During the last minute of cooking, brush a generous amount of BBQ sauce on top of each patty. If using cheddar cheese, place a slice on top of the patty to melt.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Buns

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

  3. 7

    Build the Burger

    Place each patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top with onion rings and additional BBQ sauce if desired. Place the top half of the bun over the toppings.

Serve

  1. 8

    Enjoy

    Serve the BBQ burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
